If this bill were to become law, it would amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new article to title 12, chapter 7, specifically addressing attorney discipline. The key insertion would allow attorneys who are subjects of discipline matters to request a jury trial, which is not currently permitted under existing law.

The current statutes do not provide for a jury trial in attorney discipline cases, as these matters are typically handled by the State Bar of Arizona and adjudicated by a disciplinary panel. This bill would introduce a significant change to the process, granting attorneys the right to a jury trial, thereby enhancing their legal protections during disciplinary proceedings.
