Qualifications

The Arizona Constitution requires all of the officers in the state's executive department, including the attorney general, to be at least 25 years old, a U.S. citizen for 10 years and an Arizona resident for five years.

Arizona law further requires the attorney general to have been a "practicing attorney before the supreme court of the state" for five years, however the Arizona Supreme Court ruled the law unconstitutional during the appointment process of Jack LaSota in 1977. LaSota had not renewed his state bar membership and was therefore not considered a practicing attorney.
