Maricopa has one for Superior Court, one for Justice Courts, and one each for Chandler, Gilbert, and Mesa Municipal Courts. Pima has one for Superior Court, one for Consolidated Justice Court, and one for Tucson Municipal Court. Yavapai has a single search website that covers Prescott Justice and Municipal Courts.
