The Arizona Constitution states, "The supreme court shall have administrative supervision over all the courts of the state." The Supreme Court adopts policies and procedures to guide municipal, justice of the peace, superior court and appellate courts throughout Arizona in conducting their administrative functions in a fair, efficient and fiscally responsible way.
The Code of Judicial Administration is a compilation of these policies and procedures for the administration of all Arizona courts.
