a. Authorization. Pursuant to A.R.S. § 12-130, court proceedings for the Superior Court may be held at places other than regular court facilities upon approval of the Presiding Judge, provided adequate facilities and court staff are available for such proceedings.
b. Notice. In all matters which are noticed for a hearing at a non-court facility authorized by this rule, whether by notice issued by the Clerk of the Superior Court, or by an order to show cause or some other document setting the time and place of hearing, there shall appear in the caption of such notice, order or other document, the words “For __________ hearing” and in the body thereof, at or near the portion fixing the time and date of hearing, the words “For hearing at the __________ of the court”, inserting in said blank spaces the place of hearing.
c. Calendar. The judicial officer presiding at any such proceeding shall maintain a calendar of all matters to be heard. Litigants, or their counsel, who desire to proceed at a non-court location shall confer with the judicial officer and arrange for a time on the judicial officer's calendar.
d. Objection to Proceeding. Matters scheduled for hearing at a non-court location shall be heard there unless a written objection is filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court and served. Unless the case is subject to electronic filing, a copy of the objection shall be delivered to the judicial officer by 5:00 p.m. of the second business day preceding the day of hearing.
e. Posting of Hearing Times. All notices, orders to show cause and other documents specifying times for hearing under this rule which are required to be posted shall be posted in the usual public places.

All files and records shall be maintained by the Clerk of the Superior Court and such portions as are necessary shall be taken by authorized personnel to such proceeding on hearing days only. In the event counsel desires any particular record or file from the Clerk of the Superior Court to be made available, counsel shall notify the judicial officer not later than 5:00 p.m. on the day before each proceeding.
g. Duties of Deputy Clerk. The Clerk of the Superior Court shall provide a deputy clerk experienced in courtroom procedures, who shall be present at all proceedings under this rule. The deputy clerk shall not accept documents for filing or receive filing fees relating to matters not before the judicial officer unless authorized by the Clerk of the Superior Court. All files and records for such proceedings shall be taken by the clerk and returned as expeditiously as possible so they will not be out of the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court longer than necessary.
h. Court Reporter. No court reporter will be available for such proceedings unless counsel shall, before 5:00 p.m. on the second day preceding the day on which the attendance of said reporter will be required, notify the judicial officer that the services of a court reporter are required. The judicial officer shall thereupon arrange for a court reporter at county expense.
i. Time and Place of Proceedings. The time and place of proceedings authorized pursuant to A.R.S. § 12-130 shall be designated by the Presiding Judge.
