Arizona Supreme Court
The Arizona Supreme Court has made an effort over the past decade to accomplish much through innovation and sustained effort. They have applied technology to become more efficient. They have established specialty courts to address critical quality of life issues such as drugs, mental health, and domestic violence. By streamlining the criminal justice system, they have hastened the delivery of justice to defendants and victims of crime throughout the state.
Arizona’s innovative jury practices serve as a model for courts across the nation. Their statewide efforts also have assisted children and families. In recent years, they adopted the model court program, which assures more rapid permanent placement of dependent children. They completed long overdue upgrades of our juvenile detention facilities, and they are currently reengineering our family courts to make them easier for everyone to use.
The Goals of the Arizona Supreme Court are as follows:
- Protecting Children, Families and Communities
- Providing Access to Swift, Fair Justice
- Connecting with the Community
- Being Accountable
- Serving the Public by Improving the Legal Profession
