Arizona Appointment of and Authority to Pay Court-Appointed Counsel is a form used in the state of Arizona for the appointment of an attorney to represent a defendant in a criminal case. This form is used by the court to appoint an attorney to represent a defendant who cannot afford to hire an attorney, or to appoint an attorney for a juvenile or an adult who is incapable of participating in legal proceedings. The form is also used to authorize the court to pay the appointed attorney for legal services rendered. There are two types of Arizona Appointment of and Authority to Pay Court-Appointed Counsel: the Adult Appointment and Authority to Pay Court-Appointed Counsel, and the Juvenile Appointment and Authority to Pay Court-Appointed Counsel. Both forms are used to request the court to appoint an attorney to represent the defendant in criminal proceedings, and to authorize the court to pay the appointed attorney for legal services rendered.
