Assignments:

The Court decides cases in three-judge panels (“departments”) whose composition changes periodically through an organizational order.  Organizational orders list the members of each of the Court’s five departments and the period during which they will serve.  To determine which department will consider a particular case, check the Court’s calendar or docket or contact the Clerk’s Office at (602) 452-6700 or through inform@appeals.az.gov the week prior to the date the case is scheduled to be considered.
