Rule 2.5. Oral Argument, Notice of Hearing, Submitted Motions
Currentness
(A) Oral Argument. Any party desiring oral argument must file with any motion or response a separate Notice of Hearing that must include the following:
(1) The motion to be heard;
(2) The name of the judge to hear the motion;
(3) The location of the hearing;
(4) Blanks for the date and time for the hearing; and
(5) The signature of the attorney or party requesting the hearing.
Upon receipt of the Notice of Hearing, the Court will set the date and time for the hearing. In setting the hearing and unless otherwise ordered, the Court will give each party sufficient time to comply with any applicable rules and give the Court at least 5 additional days before the hearing. After a hearing is set, the movant who submitted the Notice of Hearing must serve the Notice of Hearing on the other parties as prescribed by Rule 5, Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure.
(B) Submitted Motions. Unless a movant submits a Notice of Hearing as provided in subsection 2.5(a) above, the Court will consider and decide the motion without oral argument, unless otherwise ordered by the Court.
(C) Written Memoranda. The fact that no hearing or oral argument has been set on a motion shall not in any way relieve the parties from filing written memoranda required by any applicable rule.
(D) Time Limitations. Oral arguments are presumptively limited to 10 minutes per side. The Court may extend these limitations for hearing a particular motion, either at the Court's discretion or upon a party's prior written request.
