What are the responsibilities of a certificate holder according to the ACJA?

A certificate holder has specific responsibilities as outlined in the Arizona Code of Judicial Administration (ACJA). One of the primary obligations is to adhere to the duties and ethical guidelines set forth in the ACJA. This encompasses maintaining professionalism in the preparation of legal documents, ensuring compliance with relevant laws, and upholding the integrity of the certification process.

The responsibilities include, but are not limited to, ensuring that they do not engage in unauthorized practice of law, maintaining competence in their field, and following any reporting or renewal requirements that may be imposed by the ACJA.

While paying fees is certainly a part of maintaining certification, it does not encapsulate the broader responsibilities that a certificate holder must uphold. Likewise, merely updating personal information or mentoring others are not comprehensive aspects of the responsibilities outlined in the ACJA; the core of the role revolves around ethical practice and adherence to established guidelines.
