Upholding Justice at the Highest Level
The Arkansas Supreme Court serves as the highest judicial authority in the state, overseeing the administration of justice and ensuring the uniform application of the law across Arkansas. Established in 1836, the court has been instrumental in shaping the state’s legal landscape.
Comprising seven justices, including a chief justice and six associate justices, the court hears appeals from lower state courts and has the authority to issue original opinions on matters of significant public interest. Its decisions are binding on all other Arkansas state courts and can only be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States.
