"Arizona Bankruptcy List"
Each clerk maintains records of all pending cases, and frequently, closed case information for a few years.
Most older closed cases were filed using paper documents which are held in archives. Pulling copies of archived
paper documents requires payment of a fee and may take months.

Dockets. The clerk shall keep a docket in each case under the Code and shall enter thereon each judgment,
order, and activity in that case as prescribed by the Director of the Administrative Office of the United
