Summary
In Arizona, include sufficient detail in your civil claim to state facts, legal basis, parties involved, and relief requested. Initial disclosures are due 30 days after the first responsive pleading in Arizona Superior Court, and 40 days in federal cases. Additional claims can be added by amending the complaint with court approval. An initial disclosure statement should include the factual basis, legal theories, damages, insurance agreements, identities of knowledgeable individuals, and relevant documents. Use AI tools like Grammarly for proofreading, but consult a legal professional for legal advice. Arizona Revised Statutes Section 12-401(10) explains time computation for legal actions. Perjury and contempt of court are distinct offenses, but perjury could lead to contempt charges.Full Conversation

I apologize for the confusion and appreciate your correction. You're right, the initial disclosure deadline in Arizona Superior Court is 30 days after the filing of the first responsive pleading. The *-day deadline applies to federal cases. Thank you for pointing this out.
can additional claims not included in the complaint be included?
In Arizona, you can include additional claims not initially mentioned in the complaint by amending it. However, there are rules:
- The court must approve any amendments after the opposing party responds.
- An amendment must not prejudice the opposing party's defense.
Always consult with a legal attorney for specific advice.
