The Annual Report is designed to bring even more transparency to the People of Arkansas and highlights the essential efforts of all the state’s courts in administering justice this past year. As in years past, statistics, data, and other information that demonstrate the courts’ extraordinary dedication can be found in these pages. For the first time, Arkansas has a long-term, strategic plan for the judiciary. The Strategic Planning Committee worked tirelessly to establish a vision for what Arkansas courts may – indeed must – become over the next few years. In some ways, the material presented in this year’s annual report can be used in future editions to evaluate our courts’ progress toward the six goals presented in the Strategic Plan.
