Arizona procedural guides

Plain-English guides to the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure, each one tied to the rules it relies on. Every rule named in a guide has its own page with the official text.

• Responding to an Arizona complaint: 20 days — and a 10-day grace period built into the default ruleArizona gives 20 days to answer. Its default rule then gives something no other state we cover does: default isn't effective until 10 days after the application, and answering inside that window stops it.
• Setting aside an Arizona judgment: six months, not a yearArizona's relief-from-judgment rule is lettered Rule 60(c), and its outer limit for mistake, new evidence and fraud is six months — half the federal and most-state period.
• Arizona's Rule 26.1 disclosure: you have to hand over your case in 30 daysArizona requires each party to disclose its factual basis, legal theories, witnesses, damages computation and documents within 30 days of the responsive pleading — far more than federal initial disclosures.
