Arizona Supreme Court

What Arizona Supreme Court does

The Arizona Supreme Court is the highest appellate court and constitutional interpreter of the State of Arizona, established at Arizona statehood in 1912 and headquartered at 1501 W. Washington St., Phoenix, AZ 85007. It exercises final appellate jurisdiction over the Arizona Judicial Branch, which comprises a five-tier hierarchy: the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals (Divisions I and II), Superior Courts of general jurisdiction in all 15 Arizona counties, Justice Courts, and City Courts, with administrative support from the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC). Its primary constituencies are Arizona residents and legal parties (civil, criminal, family, and appellate), plus the legal profession (attorneys, paralegals, legal document preparers) subject to its licensing and disciplinary authority. The court administers an Alternative Business Structure (ABS) program allowing non-lawyer ownership of law firms, plus Legal Service Innovations covering legal paraprofessionals, community justice workers, and legal advocates.

The branch operates a digital court-operations platform consisting of eFiling for electronic submission of court documents, eAccess and Case Search for public access to court records (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess), Digital Evidence Management for handling electronic evidence, an Online Payment Portal (azcourtpay.com), Family Law Calculators, a Searchable Court Forms database, Live & Archived Video streaming of oral arguments, and Interactive Data Dashboards for statistical analysis. It also maintains the Center for Forensics & AI, a dedicated research center for forensic science and AI applications in judicial operations, and the Self-Service Center, which offers multilingual legal resources including a Spanish-language portal (El Centro de Autoservicio).

Revenue and funding are derived from state government appropriations and tax revenue rather than commercial sales. Nominal court filing fees, traffic-ticket fines, and licensing fees under the ABS and Fiduciary Licensing programs provide supplemental income but are not the primary revenue mechanism. Distribution is statewide and direct — through physical courthouse locations in all 15 counties plus digital self-service portals — with no intermediaries and no geographic commercial footprint beyond Arizona. Marketing and constituent communication are conducted via the official newsroom, social channels (Twitter/X, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Vimeo), and a Constant Contact email newsletter.
