How the La Paz County Court Calendar Works
The Clerk of the Superior Court posts the La Paz County court calendar as weekly files. Files are sorted by judicial officer. Each file opens as a PDF or an Excel document. There is no live search box. You pick an officer and open the file for the week you need. Then find the setting line. The clerk warns that an officer with no settings gets no calendar link for that week.
These weekly files cover the Superior Court of Arizona in La Paz County only. Parker Municipal Court, Quartzsite Municipal Court, and the justice court are separate. Your case or citation names a court. That office can confirm your hearing. The statewide case history adds context. But for a Superior Court setting within a posted week, the local calendar is the stronger public source.
The official weekly calendar page shows how the clerk organizes hearing files by judicial officer. Knowing the officer and the week matters as much as the case number.
La Paz Court Calendars by File
PDF and Excel serve different needs. The PDF keeps the court's visual layout, which suits reading a single day or session. The Excel file works better for scanning a long list. Neither is a permanent schedule. A reset, cancellation, or added hearing can make a saved copy stale. Return to the clerk's live calendar page before trusting an older download.
Calendar files appear under judicial officers such as Jerry G. Landau, Jessica L. Quickle, Jeremy Ford, Kenneth L. Fields, and Anna Young. A file appears when settings exist for that week. A name on a calendar signals an assignment. It is not a permanent La Paz County judgeship. Current leadership sources identify Jerry Landau as Acting Presiding Judge pending a successor.
The Arizona Judicial Branch also runs an electronic-hearings directory for La Paz. That official directory lists court contacts along with remote-hearing details.
The directory gives you another route to court contacts and remote-hearing details. Use it when a weekly setting points to an electronic appearance.
La Paz County Court Date Lookups
A solid La Paz County court date lookup uses more than one channel. Begin with the court's public sources. If something does not match, confirm it with the office that keeps the setting. Counsel can confirm instructions for a represented party. Only the court can speak for an official change.
- Open the Arizona Public Access Case Lookup, complete its CAPTCHA, and locate the case by number or legal name.
- Read the newest hearing event and note the assigned court and judicial officer. The statewide data refreshes weekly, so also check its displayed data date.
- For a Superior Court case, open the clerk's current PDF or Excel calendar for the assigned officer. Do not use an old downloaded file.
- If the setting is unclear, call the judicial assistant at (928) 669-6134 or email lapazjudicialassistant@courts.az.gov. The clerk counter at 1316 Kofa Avenue, Suite 607, Parker, can also route a case inquiry.
- For justice or municipal matters, contact that court directly. Superior Court calendars do not set Parker or Quartzsite city tickets.
Online sources sometimes fail. A daily courthouse posting or public terminal may not be available. Call the responsible clerk before you travel. La Paz County Justice Court answers at (928) 669-2504. Parker Municipal Court uses (928) 669-0011, and Quartzsite Municipal Court uses (928) 927-7477.
Note: A case event, a weekly calendar line, and a direct confirmation from the court may reflect different update times. Rely on the newest authoritative source.
La Paz Calendar Entry Schema
An official August 2026 La Paz County court calendar splits each day into morning and afternoon sessions with a clear set of fields. A session with no hearings displays "NO COURT." Some setting labels join two purposes with a slash, meaning one appearance can serve more than one procedural task.
| Calendar field | What it identifies | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Judicial officer and date | The officer's session on a stated day | Match both to the newest case event |
| Morning or afternoon | The session block | Do not assume it replaces the listed start time |
| Case number and title | The court file and short caption | Use the number, not a similar title, to confirm identity |
| In-custody and interpreter | Operational appearance details | Do not infer public facts beyond the calendar entry |
| Reason or setting | The purpose of the appearance | Read combined labels as multiple purposes |
| Zoom access | ID, link, or telephone call-in when supplied | Confirm that remote attendance is authorized |
The calendar is only a schedule, not the full court record. The La Paz County docket search supplies the case status and event sequence that explain why the hearing appears.
Court Settings: What Each Field Means
Read the whole setting before you act. A date alone is not enough. Without the judicial officer or hearing type, it can send you to the wrong session. A Zoom line does not prove every participant may appear remotely. The order, notice, or direct instructions for the case control.
| Date | The day assigned to the hearing; compare it with later resets or continuances. |
|---|---|
| Time | The stated start or session time, which may cover several matters in a calendar call. |
| Courtroom | The physical room when one is listed; remote details may appear instead or alongside it. |
| Judge | The judicial officer assigned to the calendar, which helps select the correct weekly file. |
| Setting type | The purpose, such as arraignment, pretrial conference, sentencing, review hearing, or oral argument. |
La Paz Superior Court case numbers follow set formats. Criminal cases use S1500CRYYYYNNNNNN, and civil cases use S1500CVYYYYNNNNNN. Probate, guardianship, and juvenile dependency cases carry similar PB, GC, or JD prefixes. The number helps keep alike-titled cases apart.
La Paz Court Setting Terms
Many La Paz County court schedule labels describe a step, not a final outcome. Read them alongside the case history. An arraignment is not a trial, and a change-of-plea setting never replaces the later judgment or sentencing record.
- Arraignment
- A criminal hearing for advisement and a plea.
- Pretrial conference
- A readiness and issue check before trial or another disposition.
- Setting (Trial Date)
- An appearance used to choose or address a trial date, not necessarily the trial itself.
- Review hearing
- A hearing that checks compliance or the status of an earlier order.
- Vacated
- A setting removed from the calendar; the case is not automatically dismissed.
The official Arizona Judicial Branch news page posts statewide court announcements that may affect operations.
State announcements give useful context, but case-specific hearing directions still come from the responsible La Paz County court.
When a Court Date Moves
Court dates shift for many reasons. A continuance or reset simply moves a setting forward, and the old entry stays in the case history, so Public Access may show it even after a newer event appears. A vacated setting is different. That word means the hearing came off the calendar. None of these labels tells you the case is over, so find the entry with the latest date and read any order attached to it before drawing conclusions.
Timing quirks matter here. Public Access refreshes on Friday with data through Wednesday, so a Thursday change can hit the weekly calendar or the court staff's records before it shows in the statewide case history. A calendar you downloaded can lag behind a fresh order too. If sources clash, call the judicial assistant or the clerk for the court named on the case. Ask which setting stands.
Use the newest source. A direct confirmation from the responsible court outranks an older PDF, spreadsheet, or statewide event display.
La Paz Remote Court Hearings
La Paz County gives remote appearances real structure. The clerk's calendar page posts a Superior Court Zoom login and points to county Administrative Order AO202200004 along with Plan B recommendations. The statewide electronic-hearing directory lists contacts for La Paz Superior, justice, and municipal courts. Remember what these tools do. They show you how to reach a hearing. They do not give you permission to appear remotely. Only the notice or the court's own instructions do that.
Details change, so verify them every time. Check the Zoom ID, the link, any telephone option, the hearing date, and the officer on the case. Never reuse last week's credentials. Raise any language or access needs before the hearing starts. For Superior Court remote-hearing support, the judicial assistant's confirmation line and email are the documented channels. For a wider view of court operations, the Arizona court annual-data archive reports activity across the state.
Those annual reports supply statewide context. For one specific local session, the weekly La Paz County court calendar is still the practical source.
La Paz Court Calendars by Venue
Court level decides where you confirm a setting. Superior Court takes felonies, major civil cases, family and probate matters, juvenile cases, and appeals from the limited courts. Misdemeanors, DUI, civil traffic, small claims, evictions, and protection orders sit with La Paz County Justice Court. Other matters in its jurisdiction go there too. The city courts handle their own loads. Parker and Quartzsite municipal courts each keep calendars for city ordinance violations, misdemeanors, and traffic cases.
| Court | Calendar route | Confirmation channel |
|---|---|---|
| La Paz Superior Court | Weekly clerk PDF or Excel by officer | Judicial assistant, (928) 669-6134 |
| La Paz County Justice Court | Case history and direct court check | (928) 669-2504 |
| Parker Municipal Court | City court record and direct check | (928) 669-0011 |
| Quartzsite Municipal Court | Town court record and direct check | (928) 927-7477 |
One wrinkle: state portals still show the old Parker, Quartzsite, and Salome justice labels. Current organization material counts just one justice precinct. If a case carries an old label, search that name first. Then call to confirm which office holds the record now.
Missed Settings and What Comes Next
Missed a setting? Call the court named on the case right away. Ask whether a new date was set. Ask whether the judge signed any order, since a clerk can share record and schedule information but cannot give legal advice or predict what the court will do. If you have a lawyer, contact counsel immediately too.
What happens next turns on the case and any order entered. A criminal or traffic absence can bring a failure-to-appear entry, a warrant, or other action. A civil absence may affect a motion, a hearing, or the judgment. No calendar line is visible today. Do not assume the case was reset because of that.
Missed a setting? Call the responsible La Paz County court at once and confirm the case status and any new date.
Do not appear at a different court based only on a similar court name in the statewide list.
Legal advice about a warrant, default, or other consequence must come from a licensed attorney.
Note: Court staff can confirm public scheduling facts. Only a judge or a filed order can change what an appearance requires.
