About the Arkansas Legal System

Arkansas has two federal district courts. A state supreme court and a court of appeals are also available. There are also trial courts with limited and general jurisdiction.

The nonpartisan election of Arkansas judges determines the selection of state court judges. Although the policies of the appellate and general courts differ in terms of chief justice selection, judge qualifications, term lengths, and other matters, the rules for re-election, and filling interim vacancies are the same. The limited jurisdiction courts operate largely the exact same way across the board, with the exception of judge qualifications.

Arkansas' federal district courts are the United States District Courts for the Eastern District of Arkansas and the United States District Courts for the Western District of Arkansas.

Arkansas has two federal bankruptcy courts. These courts have subject-matter jurisdiction and can hear bankruptcy cases.

The Court of Appeals in Texas is the state's intermediate appellate court. This court can appeal to the Supreme Court any opinions it has rendered. However, this court does not have the right to appeal its decisions. The Supreme Court must accept the appeal.

Circuit courts are the courts with general jurisdiction within the state. Circuit judges serve six-year terms.

More about Arkansas

Some students tried to integrate schools within the state after the Supreme Court ruled Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka unconstitutional. Arkansas was brought to national attention by the Little Rock Nine in 1957 when the federal government intervened to protect African-American students who were trying to integrate into a high school in the capital. Governor Orval Faubus had directed the Arkansas National Guard's assistance to segregationists in preventing nine African-American students from enrolling in Little Rock's Central High School. After three unsuccessful attempts to contact Faubus on three occasions, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent 1,000 troops to the active-duty 101st Airborne Division to assist the African-American students in their entry into school on September 25, 1957. The governor and Little Rock closed the schools during the school year, in defiance of federal court orders. The Little Rock high schools had been integrated by the fall of 1959.
