Arizona Motion to Appear Telephonically is a process used in the state of Arizona that allows a party to a case to make an appearance in court without physically being present in the courtroom. This is particularly useful for individuals who are unable to attend a hearing due to geographic distance, illness, or other factors. It is also used to help reduce the number of people who have to physically attend a hearing, as well as to help conserve resources. There are two types of Arizona Motion to Appear Telephonically: 1. General Appearance — This type of motion allows the party to make an appearance in court without physically being present, but still requires them to submit written arguments or evidence to the court. 2. Special Appearance — Special Appearance is a motion to appear telephonically in a specific case only. It does not allow for the party to make any written arguments or submit evidence. Both types of motions must be filed with the court prior to the hearing date and must be approved by the court. The party who files the motion must provide proof of their inability to attend in person, and must provide information on how they will be able to participate in the hearing telephonically.
