What must parties do regarding the Arizona Rules of Evidence at a hearing or trial?

Arizona Rules of Evidence guide what can be admitted at hearings and trials, and parties must actively bring those rules into the case. The required step is to file a notice requesting compliance with the Rules of Evidence at least 45 days before the hearing or trial. This deadline gives the court and the opposing party time to address evidentiary issues in advance, such as raising objections, filing motions in limine, and coordinating what documents or witnesses will be admissible. It helps ensure a fair, orderly process and prevents last‑minute surprises on a busy trial date. The other approaches—ignoring the rules, waiting for a judge to order compliance, or waiting until the hearing to raise compliance—do not fit because they fail to establish the necessary advance notice that preserves the opportunity to resolve evidentiary questions ahead of time.
