If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes by adding a new provision that allows attorneys who are subjects of discipline matters to request a jury trial. This new language would be inserted into title 12, chapter 7 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically by adding article 14, which relates to attorney discipline.
The current law does not provide for a jury trial in attorney discipline matters, and this bill would change that by explicitly granting the right to request such a trial. The existing statutes remain unchanged, but the addition of this provision would create a new legal avenue for attorneys facing disciplinary actions.
