Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Reappointment of Superior Court Judge Pro Tempore by Superior Court Presiding Judge and Arizona Supreme Court.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
We would need to seek a waiver from the Chief Justice for one judge to remain in Cochise County during the conference to comply with Arizona Law. The judge who stays behind would still be required to obtain suitable training during the year to remain in good standing with the Supreme Court. We may need to discontinue the operation of one or more problem-solving courts.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
