The latest issue of "The Arkansas Lawyer," volume 60, number 2 (Spring 2025), contains several short articles about appellate practice that are well worth your time and attention. These were written by current appellate judges and current or former court staff.
If you pair Judge Cindy Thyer's article on issue preservation with the article by Judge Brandon Harrison and staff attorney Amber Davis, you will enjoy a useful review of preservation and finality, two areas that cannot be ignored on appeal. These two articles are outstanding.
More general overviews are provided by Justice Rhonda Wood and former Court of Appeals law clerk Martha Ayres. These articles contain useful brief writing and other practice tips. They also provide insight into some of the operating procedures of our appellate courts.
Congratulations to the authors and editors for a great set of useful articles.
On a couple of unrelated items, no appellate decisions were handed down the week of June 8, 2025. But I am still working towards a "part two" for Court of Appeals decisions the week of June 1, 2025.
And at the Arkansas Bar Association's just concluded 127th Annual Meeting, Andy Taylor presented an informative session on final orders and issues related to record deadlines. Many thanks to Mr. Taylor for the great tips and advice.
