Information
about the Arkansas Judicial Council |
| The
Arkansas Judicial Council consists of all
judges of the circuit court and Court
of Appeals, Justices of the Supreme Court,
retired justices and judges, and the Director of
the Administrative Office of the Courts.
The Council acts as the official body
representing the state's judiciary.
It
was organized "to foster and preserve the
integrity, dignity, and independence of the
judiciary; to promote uniformity and dispatch in
judicial administration; to develop, implement
and maintain a program of judicial education
preassisting members newly elected or appointed
to the bench; to provide continuing legal
education for members accommodating the diverse
needs of chancellors, circuit judges and appellate
justices; and to select member to the Judicial
Retirement board."
The
Council has the specific statutory
responsibility of making recommendations to the
General Assembly on judicial redistricting and
the addition of new judgeships in the state.
Formal business of the Council is conducted in
spring and fall meetings each year. |
