Tidbits of appellate CLE here and there


I am not aware of any Arkansas continuing legal education programs dedicated solely to appellate matters appearing in the near future.  However, a couple of upcoming CLE programs do have appellate components.

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern and Western Districts of Arkansas hosts the annual Honorable James G. Mixon Trial Practice Symposium.  This program alternates locations between Little Rock and northwest Arkansas.  This year, the program will be held at the William H. Bowen School of Law in Little Rock on June 5, 2026.

The agenda includes an hour-long session presented by Justice Barbara Webb, entitled "Through the Appellate Lens: A Perspective from the Arkansas Supreme Court."  If you would like to know more about this program, see the information at this link: https://www.areb.uscourts.gov/news/honorable-james-g-mixon-trial-practice-symposium-1

The Arkansas Bar Association's 128th Annual Meeting is scheduled for June 10-12, 2026, in Hot Springs.  On Wednesday, June 10, there are two appeals-related sessions in the "family law" track: two Court of Appeals judges are presenting a session entitled "Life after Nalley," immediately followed by Tory H. Lewis' presentation of "Appellate Update: The Latest and Greatest in Family Law Appeals."  Ms. Lewis, of Taylor & Taylor, is an accomplished advocate in this field.

Then, on Friday, June 12, there is a morning session entitled "Judges' Roundtables."  The participating judges are not named yet, but if memory serves, appellate judges have participated in the recent past.

Am I missing anything?  Let me know in the comments, please.
