    Hon. Patricia Noland, President
    Arizona Association of Superior Court Clerks
    110 W. Congress, 1st Floor
    Tucson, Arizona 85701
    520-740-3201
    [email protected]

    The Arizona Association of Superior Court Clerks recommends that the wording in Rules 57.1(B) and 57.2(B) remain: "The petition shall state the specific court location where the underlying action was filed." Anticipating filings from self-represented litigants, the Clerks of Superior Court believe that changing this phrasing to a broader phrase, such as, “The petition shall identify the court where the underlying civil action was filed," could make it difficult for the Clerks to identify which limited jurisdiction court has the records that the Superior Court needs. For example, if a pro se’s petition states the underlying case was filed in "Justice Court," that could be one of up to 25 courts, depending on the county of filing. The phrasing in current rule that states "the specific court location" appears intended to assist filing-parties with identifying the court where the initial proceeding was filed and directs the filing-party away from using the “Justice Court” or “Municipal Court” jurisdictional umbrella terms.

    In addition, the Arizona Association of Superior Court Clerks recommends that any changes to wording in Rules 57.1(D) and 57.2(D) regarding transmission of records remain process-neutral, to allow for electronic file transfer and not be limited by references to paper or paper processes.
