Arizona Civil Proposed Scheduling Order is an order issued by the court in Arizona that sets out deadlines for completing various stages of the civil litigation process. This order typically includes deadlines for filing motions, filing responses to motions, discovery (including discovery deadlines, deadlines for filing expert reports, and deadlines for exchanging witness lists and exhibits), completing settlement negotiations, and scheduling trial. There are three types of Arizona Civil Proposed Scheduling Orders: Initial Scheduling Order, Modified Scheduling Order, and Final Scheduling Order. The Initial Scheduling Order is issued at the start of the litigation process, and sets out the deadlines for the parties to meet their obligations. The Modified Scheduling Order is issued after the parties have had some time to exchange information and to make their case, and sets out any modifications to the deadlines set out in the Initial Scheduling Order. The Final Scheduling Order is issued at the end of the litigation process, and sets out the deadlines for filing pretrial documents, presenting evidence, and any other matters that need to be addressed before the trial.
