Arizona Order For Historically Significant Case Designation is a process that allows the Arizona Supreme Court to recognize certain cases as having lasting value to the legal system and the public. This process is intended to honor those cases that have had a lasting impact on the legal system and the public. It is also intended to provide future generations with access to important legal precedents. The Arizona Supreme Court designates a case as historically significant when the case meets certain criteria. These criteria include: the case has had a lasting impact on the development of the law; the case has been cited by other courts or attorneys; the case has been reported in legal publications; the case has been the subject of an appellate decision; the case has been the subject of written analysis or commentary; the case has been cited in legal research materials; and the case has been the subject of a legal opinion. There are three types of Arizona Order For Historically Significant Case Designation: Special Designation, Standard Designation, and Legacy Designation.

Standard Designation is given to cases that have had a significant and lasting impact on the law. Legacy Designation is given to cases that have had some impact on the law, but may not have had a lasting or significant impact.
