Monday was a busy day with two special events: a visit from Chuck Goldner, the Dean at UALR Law School, and the Tenth Annual Event to Honor Special Women in Washington County. The latter was held at the Clarion, and one of our very special aluma, Ann Henry, was recognized.
It was great to see [...]
Friday was another busy day. There was a series of meetings that covered a range of subjects: pulling together the details of our upcoming pro bono event, finishing plans for the law school’s first annual networking event and discussing the upcoming Arkansas Bar Association’s Arkansas Rule of Law Conference with Prof. Judges. I also had [...]
Wednesday was a busy day spent in a series of meetings and following up on necessary correspondence. The highlight of the day was lunch with—and those of you who follow the blog will understand—the Mysterious Myra McKenzie. Three other members of the Wal-Mart legal department joined us, Susan Klooz, Sonya Dodson, Jan Sturner, and [...]
With the onset of spring and the end of Spring Break, things start to get really busy around campus—and the law school is no exception. Tuesday was really busy. We had a number of activities in the law school and we also had some wonderful visitors stop by.
Before I get to all of [...]
Monday started as every Monday does at Studio Pilates with Claudia. I can tell that I’m getting a little bit stronger, but I have a long way to go to be Fabulous at 50. The rest of the morning was filled with the very important task of preparing for the law school’s budget [...]

On Wednesday afternoon, Teri Stafford, Malcolm McNair and I left for Jonesboro to visit with the Craighead and Greene County Bar Associations to update them on law school events and news. We got to the Jonesboro Holiday Inn Express about 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday and had a little time to freshen up before heading up [...]
Monday and Tuesday of Spring Break were pretty quiet, just like the campus. The one highlight was a meeting with Sonya Dodson from Wal-Mart Legal. We discussed Wal-Mart’s wonderful, continued support for the law school. It’s always good to see Sonya, especially when she shares her pictures of her adorable daughter, Parker.

When I first came to Arkansas—the very first year I was here as a new professor—I attended the conference and was warmly welcomed by the members of the Labor and Employment Law Bar. They are special to me and [...]

I did, however, get to visit with Greg Weidemann, dean of the [...]
