    Pursuant to Rule 28(a) of the Arizona Supreme Court Rules, undersigned counsel petitions this Court to provide a procedure for the Arizona Court of Appeals to conduct en banc reconsideration of appeals and other proceedings by amending Rule 31.20 of the Arizona Rules of Criminal Procedure and Rule 22 of the Arizona Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure. The proposed amendments blend well-tested procedures set forth under Rule 40 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and existing Arizona rules governing reconsideration by the Court of Appeals. If adopted, en banc reconsideration will improve Arizona’s justice systems and align it with the majority of states’ method of ensuring the uniform interpretation of the law by intermediate state appellate courts.

    Filed: January 10, 2025

    Would amend the civil and criminal appellate rules to authorize and provide a procedure for the Court of Appeals to conduct en banc reconsideration of appellate decisions.
