Administrative Order No. 2009-88Supreme Court of Arizona.
August 26, 2009.
REBECCA WHITE BERCH, Chief Justice.
On January 8, 2009, Administrative Order No. 2009-01 was filed outlining a plan for budget reductions in response to the State of Arizona financial crisis. The budget situation has not improved, and an extension of the reduction of continuing judicial education and training requirements is needed.
Now, therefore, pursuant to Article VI, Section 3, of the Arizona Constitution,
IT IS ORDERED that the continuing judicial education and training requirements established in the Arizona Code of Judicial Administration (ACJA) Section 1-302 for all employees in the Judicial Branch, except judicial officers, are reduced by fifty percent to 8 hours, and the core curricula requirements provided in ACJA Section 1-302.K.2 are suspended for calendar year 2010. The AOC shall, to the extent practicable, offer online educational programs for judges and other Judicial Branch employees as a way to reduce travel costs for attending training and education programs.
