The Arizona State Supreme Court adopts The New Civil Liberties Alliance's proposed changes to court rules

The New Civil Liberties Alliance [NCLA], a nonpartisan, nonprofit civil rights group, announced that the Arizona Supreme Court "adopted verbatim" an NCLA-drafted amendment to the court's Judicial Review of Administrative Decisions Rules making it easier for litigants to obtain Superior Court stays of administrative decisions.

The new rule goes into effect starting January 1, 2021 and affects all appeals from the final decisions of all Arizona state agencies that are required to go to the Arizona Superior Court.

The text of the amendment is posted on the Internet at https://nclalegal.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Order-R200008.pdf.
