LISTEN: Pandemic-Era Jury Duty, Nursing Home Data Lawsuit, Phoenix High-Rise Tax Incentives, and Much More - "AZ Law" Podcast

"AZ Law" is back on the air!

We couldn't be more excited, and we hope it at least gets you to nod and think that it is NOT too soon
for us to re-open one of the newest additions to the Arizona media menu. (OK, we have continued reporting articles since March, but the audio program compiles articles from other pages of the media.)

In our first post-shutdown broadcast installment, we bring you a range of articles and commentaries about Arizona cases and the justice system. For example, we have an editorial on the media case to obtain Covid-19 data about nursing homes, a briefer on jury duty *in these uncertain times*, and an article on a proposed Phoenix highrise trial being impacted by the curfew.

Make sure you subscribe to "AZ Law" wherever you get your podcasts from. We're on Apple iTunes, Google Play Podcasts, you name it, you'll find us.

There are plenty of other interesting articles, both originally reported and from fine Arizona media outlets. Here is the full listing*:

1.  Gov. Doug Ducey won in court on nursing home data. But the rest of Arizona lost (Editorial, Kwok, Republic)
2.  Called up for jury duty? Here's what it will be like under COVID-19 (Castle, Republic)
3.  Supreme Court Orders Hearing For Death Row Inmate On Whether Juror Misconduct Contributed To Second Conviction In Notorious Yuma Murders (Weich, AZ Law)
4.  Curfew Shortens 1st Day of Trial On Tax Incentives For Proposed Phoenix Highrise (Weich, AZ Law)
5.  Court holds disorderly conduct requires victim's peace disturbed (Fischer, Capitol Media)
6.  Feds sued over red-squirrel management on Arizona's Mount Graham (Davis, Star)

And remember, if the sound quality is not yet up to pre-shutdown quality, blame it on the acoustics in my office... and not the mask I was wearing.😉

"AZ Law" includes articles, commentaries and updates about opinions from the Arizona Supreme Court, U.S. Supreme Court, as well as trial and appellate courts, etc.

More on these cases and other legal news can be found at ArizonasLaw.org.

AZ Law also airs on non-profit Sun Sounds of Arizona, a statewide reading service that provides audio access to printed material for people who cannot hold or read print material due to a disability. If you know someone who could benefit from this 24/7 service, please let them know about member-supported Sun Sounds. And, YOU can donate or listen here.
*Yes, I do agree with a listener/reader comment that it would be great to add time stamps to both the listing and the recording; I'm open to suggestions as to the most time-effective way to do that.
