Arizona's Exemption Statute Relative to Earnings for Personal Services: Time for Modernization

Abstract

A well established principle in the field of creditor's rights is that an unsecured creditor may look to all the non-exempt property of his debtor for satisfaction of his debt. While it is true that some jurisdictions have revised their exemption laws in recent years to meet the needs of an inflationary economy, others have not. Economic and social conditions have so radically changed that a comprehensive re-evaluation of the entire area is needed. The exemptions should reflect the present and probably future requirements of the debtor, his family, and society generally in the inter-relationship between debtor and creditor. This comment, however, is not intended to deal with the field of exemptions generally, but is to discuss and suggest possible revisions in Arizona's "earnings for personal services" exemption statute with the hope of encouraging modernization thereof.
