Alaska Request for Expedited Consideration (ARE) is a legal procedure that allows citizens of Alaska to request that their legal matters be heard in an expedited manner. This procedure is available to all individuals or entities that have been impacted by a governmental action or decision and need their legal matter to be heard in a timely manner. ARE is available for a variety of types of legal proceedings, including civil cases, administrative appeals, and criminal cases. There are two types of ARE: the Standard Request and the Expedited Request. The Standard Request is a request to the court or administrative agency that the matter be heard within a certain amount of time. The Expedited Request is a request to the court or administrative agency that the matter be heard on an expedited basis, which can be as soon as possible. The purpose of the ARE is to provide individuals and entities with the opportunity to have their legal matters heard in a timely manner. The process for filing and ARE is relatively straightforward and can be done online or in person. The individual or entity must provide information regarding the case or appeal, describe why the matter needs to be heard on an expedited basis, and provide evidence to support their request. Once the ARE is filed, the court or administrative agency will review the request and determine if the matter should be heard on an expedited basis. If the request is approved, the court or administrative agency will provide a schedule and instructions on how to proceed with the matter.
