Summer break rolls on. Last week, the Arkansas Supreme Court did not post a syllabus. The Arkansas Court of Appeals did post a syllabus on Wednesday, July 1, 2026. Sixteen pages in length, that syllabus lists orders disposing of the matters submitted the week before - there are no opinions to note.
The Court of Appeals' syllabus documents the filing of an amicus brief that is interesting. Filed by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Roark v. Hyland, CV-25-540, the brief does a good job setting forth the Society's policy related to the case and the potential harm from a ruling against the City of Little Rock, all in less than eleven pages of argument. The only authorities cited are Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-6, a book, and three items from the internet.
Thank you for reading.
