Arizona State Legislature
XXXX

The Arizona State Legislature is the bicameral legislature of the State of Arizona. It is composed of a 30-Member upper house styled Senate and a 60-Member lower house called House of Representatives. Both Houses of the Legislature meet in the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix, the state capital: The Senate meet in the Hall of the Senate, located on the south side of the building, while the House of Representatives meet in the Hall of the House, which is located on the north side of the Capitol. Members of both Houses of the Legislature are chosen by direct, popular election; however, the Manner and Method of electing Members of the Legislature varies between the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The Legislature has 90 Members: 30 Senators and 60 Representatives.

The Members of the Senate serve a Term of six Years (renewable any number of times) representing one of the fifteen Counties of Arizona, and the People of each County are represented by between one and three Senators, based on population. Elections for the Senate are staggered so that the Seats of one-third of the whole Senate (e.g., 10 seats) are filled every two Years. On the other hand, Members of the House of Representatives serve a Term of two Years (also renewable any number of times) representing the People of Arizona in each of the thirty Legislative Districts, in which Two Representatives are chosen in each District for a total of sixty Representatives.

Executive Department
The Executive Cabinet of the State of Arizona is the senior-most council of the executive Branch of the Arizona State Government, and is composed of the Governor and the principle Officer in each of the various executive Departments and Agencies of the State. The Executive is responsible for executing the laws of Arizona and the laws of the United States throughout the State, and for carrying on the day-to-day government (governance) of the State. As Arizona is organized under the presidential system, the Governor is both head of state and head of government, and, as such, he is both the chief public representative of the State and the head of the Executive. In addition, the Governor is also the commander-in-chief of the Arizona State Guard, the Arizona State Troopers, and, during emergencies and other extra-ordinary situations, the commander-in-chief of all county, municipal, and special-purpose Police forces in the State.

Under Arizona law, no Person, having been convicted under State law for Treason, Felony, or other High Crimes or Misdemeanors, is eligible to any Office of Profit or Trust in Arizona or any Place subject to its Jurisdiction. This includes all elected Offices in Arizona at all Levels of Government in the State, from Local and County, to State and Federal, and all others in-between.

Arizona Supreme Court

 * Portal:Arizona Supreme Court

The Arizona Supreme Court is the supreme Court of the State of Arizona. It consists of a chief Justice and six associate Justices. Each Justice is appointed by the Governor of Arizona from a List recommended by a bipartisan Commission (See: Missouri Plan). Justices stand for retention in an Election two Years after their appointment, and then every six Years thereafter. They must retire at age 70.

The chief Justice is chosen for a Term of five Years by the Members of the Court, and is eligible for re-election. He supervises the administration of all the inferior Courts, that is all Courts below the supreme Court. The chief Justice is also the Chairman of the Commission on Appellate Court Appointments, which nominates Candidates to fill Vacancies in the appellate Courts (including the supreme Court). If the Governor fails to appoint one of the nominated Candidates within sixty Days of their Names being submitted to him, the chief Justice makes the appointment.

The Jurisdiction of the Court is prescribed by Article VI, Section 5 of the Arizona Constitution. Most of the appeals heard by the Court first go through the Arizona Court of Appeal, except for death penalty Cases, over which the Arizona Supreme Court has sole appellate jurisdiction. The Court also has original Jurisdiction in a few other circumstances as outlined in the Arizona Constitution. A Quorum is five, but the whole Court must sit in order to declare a Law unconstitutional.

Arizona Court of Appeal

 * Portal:Arizona Court of Appeal

The Court of Appeal of the State of Arizona, more commonly known as the Arizona Court of Appeal, is the intermediate appellate court in the Arizona Integrated Judicial Department (the judicial part (branch) of the Arizona State Government). The Court is authorized by Article VI, section 10, of the Arizona Constitution and formally established in 1713 with the enactment of the Judiciary Act, 1713. The official seat of the Arizona Court of Appeal is in Tucson, in the Arizona Court of Appeal building, which is located at 400 West Congress Street; but the Court of Appeal, like the State supreme Court, regularly holds sessions throughout the State as part of its public outreach and civic engagement programs.

Arizona Superior Court

 * Portal:Arizona Superior Court

The Superior Court of the State of Arizona is the Arizona state court of general jurisdiction. Jurisdiction The Arizona Constitution provides the superior Court with jurisdiction over: Divisions Under Article 6, section 13, of the Arizona Constitution, “[t]he superior Courts provided for in this section shall constitute a single Court, composed of all the duly elected or appointed Judges in each of the Counties of the State.” In this sense, the single Superior Court of the State of Arizona is divided into fifteen divisions, conterminous with the fifteen Counties of Arizona. Officially, each Superior Court division is styled the “Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of (County)”. For example, the Superior Court division located in Coconino County is officially the, “Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Coconino.”  Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Apache Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Cochise Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Coconino Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Gila Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Graham Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Greenlee Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of La Paz Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Maricopa</li> Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Mohave</li> Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Navajo</li> Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Pima</li> Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Pinal</li> Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Santa Cruz</li> Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Yavapai</li> Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Yuma</li> </ul>
