Summaries of Ethic Advisory Opinions and Topical Index…………………. 79-125 Arkansas Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission FROM THE CHAIR The Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission continued its function of receiving and investigating complaints concerning the ethical conduct or disability of judges. This was done while maintaining the necessary balance between judicial independence and public accountability. Judges must be free to act in good faith without concern or fear that their decisions will subject them to disciplinary investigation. At the same time, they are held accountable for their ethical conduct both in and out of the courthouse. The annual report will assist the public and the judiciary in understanding the ethical standards for proper judicial conduct by providing a clear explanation of the operation of the Commission and setting out the number and nature of complaints the Commission has considered in the past year. An analysis of the data for 2016 show that the vast majority of Arkansas judges seek to, and do, comply with the Code of Judicial Conduct. Arkansans can take pride in our judges, the judicial system and the high ethical standards which have become its tradition.

  • Twelve Elections That Shaped a Century I Tawdry Populism, Timid Progressivism, 1900-1930
    Arkansas Politics in the 20th Century: Twelve Elections That Shaped a Century I Tawdry Populism, Timid Progressivism, 1900-1930 One-gallus Democracy Not with a whimper but a bellow did the 20th century begin in Arkansas. The people’s first political act in the new century was to install in the governor’s office, for six long years, a politician who was described in the most graphic of many colorful epigrams as “a carrot-headed, red-faced, loud-mouthed, strong-limbed, ox-driving mountaineer lawyer that has come to Little Rock to get a reputation — a friend of the fellow who brews forty-rod bug juice back in the mountains.”1 He was the Tribune of the Haybinders, the Wild Ass of the Ozarks, Karl Marx for the Hillbillies, the Stormy Petrel, Messiah of the Rednecks, and King of the Cockleburs. Jeff Davis talked a better populism than he practiced. In three terms, 14 years overall in statewide office, Davis did not leave an indelible mark on the government or the quality of life of the working people whom he extolled and inspired, but he dominated the state thoroughly for 1 This quotation from the Helena Weekly World appears in slightly varied forms in numerous accounts of Davis's yers. It appeared in the newspaper in the spring of 1899 and appears in John Gould Fletcher, Arkansas (Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1947) p. 2. This version, which includes the phrase "that has come to Little Rock to get a reputation" appears in Raymond Arsenault, The Wild Ass of the Ozarks: Jeff Davis and the Social Bases of Southern Politics (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1984), p.
