How long may a certificate holder remain inactive according to the applicable ACJA section?

A certificate holder may remain inactive for a duration specified by the applicable Arizona Code of Judicial Administration (ACJA) section. This means that there is a defined timeline set by the ACJA that governs how long an individual can hold their certification in an inactive status, allowing them the flexibility to return to active status within the established timeframe.

This structured approach ensures that certifications remain relevant and that any professional standards can be upheld. By having a designated period, it helps maintain the integrity of the certification process and ensures that individuals refresh their skills and knowledge, which is essential in legal professions where regulations and laws may evolve. Understanding this timeframe is crucial for certificate holders who may need to take a break from their profession but intend to resume their activities later.
