| Continuing Legal Education |
| I have participated in a number of Continuing Legal Education programs in Arkansas, both as a presenter, and on two occasions as an organizer. I am posting some of the materials I have written (sometimes with a little help from my friends) Exercises from the 1997 Arkansas Appellate Advocacy Institute. These handouts served as a springboard to discuss various issues. I did the framework of most of them, but I had a lot of help from other members of the Institutue Committee. Chan v. State involves important evidence questions in a case involving an alleged car theft. Bananaberry v. State is a prosecution for Mopery under Arkansas statutes, but the real issue is one of jury selection. Wimpy's Wigwams v. Olive's Widget Emporium involves complicated procedural questions under Arkansas law as it existed in 1997. We have an abbreviated trial transcript and the pleadings file. Beware, the pleadings file is kind of large, since it's a scanned PDF. One of my projects for the distant future is to try to change it into some kind of functional text file. Maggie Newton, Doris Compton, and I developed a Legal Writing handbook for secretaries and paralegals for a course. It was originally in WordPerfect, and it had, well, very creative use of fonts. When I converted it over to HTML, we lost the fonts, a few pictures, and the pagination. I don't know how to make it look right. Here's some material from a Continuing Legal Education course on Insurance. Now that's boring. Also, it's way out of date. There's some of it that is dangerously obsolete. Here are some dated articles I have written. They have not been brought up to date. They deal with how to preserve error in a trial court so that you can successfully have it reviewed on appeal, problems with the Arkansas Rules of Appellate Procedure and Rules of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals as they existed when this article was published, and an article I wrote about preparing for the Y2K Crisis which, as most of you will remember, reduced us to the sub-human, cave-dweller, prehistoric society in which we all live today. My next project is to figure out how to put Powerpoint presentations on the web page. Gerry Gerry Schulze EUBANKS, BAKER & SCHULZE 620 W.
