About the Legislative Package

One of the most important things the Arkansas Bar Association does each year is represent its members at the Arkansas Capitol during the legislative session. The Association speaks with a unified voice to best represent the interests of the legal community and the profession of law.

Legislative or administrative proposals concerning all matters of jurisprudence and procedure—including reforms of substantive law, improvements in practice, and administration of the courts—originate with Association members, sections, and committees.

If proposals are recommended by the Jurisprudence and Law Reform Committee and adopted by the Board of Trustees, they become part of the Association’s Legislative Package.
