15. APPOINTMENT OF SUPERIOR COURT COMMISSIONERS AS SUPERIOR COURT JUDGES Approve the appointment of Court Commissioners as Superior Court Judges Pro Tempore in accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-141. The appointment will be for the period commencing July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. In order to obtain greater flexibility in the use of Court Commissioners, the Superior Court customarily has all Court Commissioners appointed as Superior Court Judges Pro Tempore so they may, on occasion, hear contested matters. This serves the interest of judicial economy and promotes sound caseflow management. The list of Court Commissioners would serve as Superior Court Judges Pro Tempore without any additional compensation other than that to which they are entitled as Court Commissioners. The appointment will be for the period commencing July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. (List on file in the Clerk of the Board's office) (C-80-11-013-2-00)
