Episode Notes Hey everyone… Before we dive into a great conversation this afternoon with Rod I wanted to share a memory that goes along with the theme: a genie for Christmas. When I was much much much much much younger, our elementary school used to put on a Christmas extravaganza and each grade have their own play. For a while, one of my younger cousins was staying with our family while his mom was out of the country for work. It was during the Christmas season and she would be home the day before Christmas Eve, which that year was the last day of school for us and the day of the Christmas extravaganza. The kindergarten class which my younger cousin was in always performed.a teacher written play based on the 12 days of Christmas and my little cousin was chosen for the exclusive part of: five golden rings! So the big surprise was for my aunt to slip in the back of the auditorium during the extravaganza And surprise my cousin! Well… The surprise worked! I don't remember if it was eight… Nine… 10… But during the countdown when there was that wonderfully dramatic pause, my cousin would ring out in his clear beautiful voice: five golden rings. However, during that eight, nine, 10 or what number it was he looked up and saw his mom sneaking into the back of the auditorium and instead of calling out five golden rings, he said in the sweetest, most vulnerable most affectionate voice: Hi mommy And the whole audience corrupted in cheers and well meaning laughter. To this day, I can still very clearly remember the look on his face and the sound in his voice when he realized his mom was there to see him perform. I have a lot of favorite Christmas memories, but this one is definitely and the top five. But I digress as I'm known to do… Hopefully Many of you will listen to this great conversation with Rod later on today This Sunday on Sunday Edition with Anthony Corona 1 PM Eastern on 20/20 The BEACON — or later wherever you get your podcasts.

He graduated from ASU and attended Law school in Fayetteville. In 1973, Clark became assistant dean of the University of Arkansas School of Law.

In 1990, Clark was accused and convicted of mishandling state funds and charged with felony theft by deception. He lost his law license and moved several times. He lived in Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Texas. In 2004, Governor Huckabee pardoned Clark.

On this episode of Ruled by Reason, Emily Bridges of the Food and Agriculture Impact Project has a wide-ranging discussion with antitrust scholar Peter Carstensen about the role of information exchange in restricting competition in agricultural markets, focusing on how the DOJ's case against Agri-Stats addresses that threat. After covering the oligopolistic nature of many agricultural markets (2:45), the two do a deep dive on why information exchange can be so harmful to competition (11:04). Professor Carstensen explains how the law on information exchange has evolved and how that history has led to unfortunate ambiguity about the applicable standard (17:10). Professor Carstensen then explains why information exchange has been a particular problem in agricultural markets. He describes how recent cases in this area, including both private actions and the DOJ's case against the information aggregator, Agri-Stats, can play an important role in clarifying and strengthening enforcement against unjustified information exchanges (27:20). The discussion concludes with some thoughts about what we can expect from current trends in litigation over illegal information exchanges (48:50). Emily Bridges is a Research Attorney for the LL.M. Program in Agricultural and Food Law at the University of Arkansas School of Law, working with the Food and Agriculture Impact Project. Emily received a JD and an LL.M. in Agricultural and Food Law from the University of Arkansas School of Law.

Peter Carstensen is Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin Law School and a Senior Fellow and Advisory Board Member at AAI. He previously served in the Antitrust Division at the Department of Justice. Professor Carstensen received the 2024 Alfred E.

Asa Hutchinson asked the Arkansas School Safety Commission to review protocol for active shooters on K-12 campuses after multiple, systemic failures were identified in Uvalde in the aftermath of that tragedy. The commission released its interim report Tuesday during a news conference at the state Capitol. It included a broad range of recommendations, including increased mental health care for students and a statewide school safety tip line. Arkansas Democrat-Gazette capitol reporter Stephen Simpson has been covering the commission. He joins Capitol & Scott host Lara Farrar to share the major takeaways from the interim report.

Then it was the Guinea coup, North Korea parade, Lebanon financial crisis, California recall, and a school district in Arkansas being sued over turning a blind eye to the disgusting rampant sexual hazing.

In recent years, a number of regulatory agencies have increasingly utilized enforcement actions rather than formal rulemaking to achieve desired policy outcomes. Critics argue that this "regulation by enforcement" raises legal concerns involving fair notice, the rule of law, and the Administrative Procedure Act. One prominent example of this phenomenon is the regulation of the cryptocurrency industry, where explosive innovation and growth have left many players appealing for clear rules of the road, rather than unpredictable enforcement actions carried out by a variety of federal agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).While the SEC has declared that Bitcoin and Ether, the two largest cryptocurrencies, are not securities, the agency has increasingly brought lawsuits arguing that other coins must be registered as securities, relying on New Deal-era statutes and the Supreme Court's 1946 Howey test. Most notably, the SEC recently filed suit against Ripple Labs claiming that XRP, the popular cryptocurrency Ripple launched almost a decade ago, is an unregistered securities offering.In this live podcast, an expert panel discusses SEC v. Ripple Labs, the broader cryptocurrency regulatory landscape, and potential legislative and regulatory reforms.Featuring:- John Berlau, Senior Fellow, Competitive Enterprise Institute- John Deaton, Managing Partner, Deaton Law Firm- Carol Goforth, University Professor and Clayton N.

What will it take to reduce the number of police traffic stops that devolve into a use of force, sometimes with deadly consequences? Is there a way to overcome concerns of how race and other biases affect who gets pull over by law enforcement officers? Is there a better way to serve the public's needs for enforcement of traffic laws? In this episode of "Speaking of Arkansas," Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette editorial editor Greg Harton visits with Dr. Jordan Blair Woods, a law professor and criminologist at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. Dr. Woods proposes creating local and state agencies focused solely on enforcement of traffic by unarmed "traffic monitors," eliminating the traffic stop as either a tool or an excuse for larger investigatory purposes. Doing so, he says, would at least reduce traffic stops of over-policed populations, such as racial minorities and poorer people.

On this episode of Spaceport Radio, Frank Jacobus heads back to our Spaceport to talk with Mr Haunt and me about the underdog, our collective definitions of success, and why we were wrong to pick on Tony Romo. Frank's unique perspective shows how we might sometimes fall into cliches and assumptions when judging someone's success, even if the numbers show a different story. We also talk about what motivates someone to keep working and achieving even after having what seems to us all the success imaginable... and how that can sometimes go in a tragic direction. Frank Jacobus, AIA is Principal of SILO, and is Associate Professor and Associate Department Head in the Fay Jones School of Architecture at the University of Arkansas. From 2016 - 2018 he was 21st Century Chair of Building Technologies at the FJSoA where he lead design-build, fabrication, and advanced technology initiatives. Frank taught previously at the University of Idaho. He has a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Cooper Union and an MArch II from the University of Texas.

DOWN AND DIRTY DOWN SOUTH: POLITICS AND THE ART OF REVENGE by Roger Glasgow Returning from a vacation trip to Mexico, Little Rock attorney Roger Glasgow and his wife got the surprise of their lives when they were stopped at the border crossing. Guards ordered them out of their car and began to remove the back seat. What followed was a long nightmare of political intrigue and subterfuge that led all the way back to Arkansas and its capital city. While pursuing a race for prosecuting attorney in the 1970s, Glasgow had run afoul of the local political machine. The machine later decided to teach Glasgow a lesson even though he’d lost the race. Down and Dirty Down South is Glasgow’s story of how he attempted to clear his name and also track down the people who had him setup for charges of smuggling illegal drugs into the United States. Glasgow’s book is a microcosm of what it means to challenge the tyranny sometimes found in local politics, with its secret deals and insider power. Roger Glasgow was raised on a small farm near Nashville, Arkansas. He received his bachelor of science degree in history and political science in 1965 from what is now Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, and his juris doctor from the university of Arkansas School of Law in Fayetteville in 1969. He entered private practice in Nashville for a few years and also served as deputy prosecutor. Glasgow was elected as a delegate to the Arkansas Constitutional Convention of 1969. He then moved to Little Rock, where he was a deputy attorney general before he ran for Prosecuting attorney, finishing second in a field of four. He reentered private law practice with the Little Rock firm of Wright, Lindsey & Jennings, where he enjoyed a successful 50-year career as a trial lawyer. Upon retirement, he turned to writing. Down and Dirty Down South: Politics and the Art of Revenge was his first book, a memoir published in 2016. It received an “Arkansas Gem” award from the Arkansas Library Association. His second book, Broadsword, a Novel of Love Amidst the Chaos, published in January 2020 was his debut novel. https://www.amazon.com/Down-Dirty-South-Robert-Glasgow/dp/1952182271/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9781952182273&qid=1612835743&sr=8-1&fbclid=IwAR2Xaxx3hH5DVitcKA3BuFd2PzRHj5lU1XtIZvBm8VjNR-ehUl9OsDqHZs8 http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/robglasgowamg.mp3
On this episode of Spaceport Radio, I sit down with my friend Frank Jacobus. Frank and I met at Cooper Union in 1993 and have been close friends ever since. Our speculative ideas remain as vibrant and inspiring today as they were when we were teenagers. Today we talk about how our creative processes have changed over the years, and how Frank approaches teaching his students and his children about living a creative life. We also get into his thoughts on the evolution of creative professions, including what he tells his own kids (and doesn't tell them) about that fine balance between "making art" and "making a living". He gives insight into how space influences our mood, and how he has learned to trust his creative intuition when it comes to everything from architecture to poetry. And would Picasso be on Instagram?

In an op-ed column in USAToday last week, Wyoming Catholic College senior Anthony Jones wrote: “I gathered with the entire student body of Wyoming Catholic College on Sept. 17, 2019, for a mandatory celebration of Constitution Day. We began with the Pledge of Allegiance, witnessed a lively panel discussion between professors on the history and modern relevance of America's founding principles, and concluded by singing patriotic songs.” Anthony Jones went on, “If you are a student at a typical American university, that description probably sounds foreign to anything you have experienced. Anti-Americanism has spread across college campuses like a wildfire, igniting rage and resentment against anything perceived as oppressive — even the American flag. As a result, most universities would likely shy away from a celebration of our nation's founding in favor of more ‘inclusive' events.” On September 17 of this year, Anthony along with the rest of the student body of Wyoming Catholic College as well as faculty and staff gathered to celebrate Constitution Day 2020. This year we heard from retired federal judge, Dr. Leon Holmes. Judge Holmes received his PhD in political science from Duke University and his JD from the University of Arkansas School of Law. He served sixteen years on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. Retiring from the court earlier this year, Judge Holmes is a visiting professor this fall at Wyoming Catholic College.

With this second installment of Animals Hit the Road, we bring our animal-talents to the house of Sean and Lizzie Casteel, who live in one of Little Rock's sublation of suburbs. Through the hazy lens of Arkansas' own Rocktown Apple Pie Bourbon, the Casteel power couple takes us on a tour of Via, their startup graphic design company, whose early success includes designing the Animal Riot Logo and winning a contract with The Arkansas School for the Deaf Foundation. While taking shots every time a secret southern word is spoken, the conversation winds through the sprawling arts and literature scene in The Natural State's largest city, and we discuss plans to bring Animal Riot to Little Rock and uplifting the artistic culture therein. Ultimately, the conversation turns to the state of art as it relates to commerce and community within not just Little Rock, but Arkansas and the South as a whole. Transcripts for our Deaf and Hard of Hearing Animals can be found on our website.

In this pilot episode, we meet Stacy L. Leeds, Dean of the University of Arkansas School of Law. A member of the Cherokee Nation, headquartered in Talequah, Oklahoma, Stacy talks leadership, Cherokee politics, heritage, and retracing the Trail of Tears on bike.
“We never control the timing of our opportunities.” “ I always thought about the removal with anger or sadness...and now I think about survival and resilience.” Stacy Leeds is a Citizen of the Cherokee Nation. She is also Dean and Professor of Law at the University of Arkansas School of Law. Recently, Dean Leeds was reappointed to a second term as Dean. Let me restate that: Dean Leeds is a Citizen of the Cherokee Nation and Dean of the University of Arkansas School of Law. I’ve been excited to get this conversation on the record to share, because Stacy is one of Indian Country’s shining stars. Stacy is from Muskogee, Oklahoma. She was active in sports, excelling in basketball. Eventually she played small forward at Washington University in Saint Louis, Missouri. She was not familiar with the school’s prestige when the school contact her initially, she decided to attend because it was where she could play ball. This is a familiar theme in Stacy’s life, jumping into something full steam ahead. I’ve always found, despite my desire to learn as much as I can about an issue, the best way to do things. Because when you dive into something you cannot allow yourself to get in your own way. It’s served Stacy well throughout her life. After college, she attended the University of Tulsa College of Law. During law school, she realized her desire to enter legal academia. So after school she participated as a Hastie Fellow at the University of Wisconsin Law School. When the fellowship was finished, she began teaching at the University of North Dakota. Her next stop was at the University of Kansas teaching as part of the Indigenous Studies program. Here she was able to take on an interim role as Dean. It was here where she realized that she could take on this role. Soon after, she was presented an opportunity to apply for the Dean position at Arkansas. One of my favorite parts of the conversation was listening to Dean Leeds discuss her recent experience as a participant in the Remember the Removal ride. In this episode, we discuss: The challenge of choosing between two good options. Finding the Native community regardless of where you live. Getting burned out, and taking care of yourself to prevent it. The importance of relationships in Indian Country, law, and beyond. The power of relativity and connection. Working “in” Indian Country, and what does it mean when opportunities arise to work beyond Indian Country exclusively. The phone call she got when she was offered the Dean position. The Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative. No matter where you are in your professional journey, you can take something away from Stacy’s experience.

The client intake process goes far beyond simply having a potential client complete a few forms. It encompasses everything from attracting new clients during the first interaction with your firm to ultimately signing engagement letters. For small firms and solo attorneys, this process can be incredibly time-consuming and typically does not generate any billable hours. However, by implementing efficient processes and utilizing the right tools, the client intake process can be streamlined, enabling your practice to run more smoothly while also leaving a positive first impression on clients.In today's episode, hosts Karla Eckardt and Jamie Moore welcome Jordan Turk, a practicing attorney in Texas and legal technology advisor at Smokeball, to discuss the client intake process. Smokeball is a cloud-based legal practice management software and one of The Florida Bar's newest member benefits.

After almost four years of practice with a high-asset family law firm in Houston, Jordan discovered the world of legal technology which ultimately brought her to Smokeball.Jordan has authored and co-authored many articles that you can find in various state bar publications and around the internet. Passionate about giving back to her community, Jordan makes a point of taking pro bono cases whenever possible.
