As part of the effort to consolidate formerly separate sets of procedural rules into either the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure or the Rules of the Arizona Supreme Court, various rule provisions contained in the Uniform Rules of Practice of the Superior Court and the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure which were concerned primarily with the internal administration of the Superior Court were transferred to a retitled Section VII of the Rules of the Arizona Supreme Court. New Rule 93 was promulgated as part of that process, New Rule 93(a) contains the provisions formerly contained in Rule II of the Uniform Rules of Practice of the Superior Court; new Rule 93(b) contains the provisions formerly contained in Rule IV(c) of those Rules.
