EDDIE H. WALKER, JR. The 118th ArkBar Annual Meeting is just around the corner. The Association joins the Judicial Council in Hot Springs June 15-18 for our annual event. The plenary speaker will be Travis T. Tygart, CEO of the United States Anti-Doping Agency. He will provide insight regarding the problem of athletes using performance-enhancing drugs. His talk will include comments about the case against Lance Armstrong. Tygart’s work emphasizes that integrity still matters and that one can still win competing fairly. Professor Kimberly Norwood, from Washington University School of Law, will speak on the very timely topic of “Implicit Bias.” She will identify and discuss factors that we unconsciously consider when interacting with each other. Considerable discussions will occur regarding the issues that face our judiciary. Chief Justice Howard Brill, Judge Dan Kemp, recently elected to become Chief Justice, and former Justice Robert Brown are among the speakers who will address some of these issues. Although the CLE offerings are amazing, the opportunity for lawyers and judges to interact in an informal setting is even more valuable. Social events such as the Presidents’ Reception, the Bar Foundation Dinner and the time-honored Friday Firm Reception in the lobby of the Arlington Hotel are opportunities to renew old friendships, strengthen existing relationships and create new ones. I thank Aaron Squyres for his magnificent work as our annual meeting chair. When you see him, please express your gratitude for a job well done. Finally, please join me in thanking members of the Friday Firm for continuing the decades-old tradition of sponsoring the reception at the Arlington. See you in Hot Springs!

The “win-at-all costs” culture seems to have taken over all levels of competition— athletic and otherwise. Many have lost confidence that integrity still matters and that you can still truly win competing fairly. This talk will explore this cultural shift in sports and provide insight to the work of the independent National Anti-Doping organization, the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), and its mission to protect the rights of those athletes competing fairly and to ensure a playing field free of performance-enhancing drugs for all competitors.

118TH ANNUAL MEETING

Overcoming Obstacles to Success at the 2016 ArkBar Annual Meeting

elcome to the 118th Annual Meeting of the Arkansas Bar Association. This year’s theme is Overcoming Obstacles to Success. Those obstacles could include implicit bias, a lack of business knowledge or experience in managing a law practice, or a lack of substantive knowledge of certain areas of the law. This year’s speakers will give you the practical knowledge to overcome all of them. Our keynote speaker is Travis Tygart, the CEO of the U.S. Anti-doping Agency who led the investigation of Lance Armstrong. Professor Kimberly Norwood will discuss implicit bias in jury selection. Paul Unger will present on law office efficiency, law office operations management, and billing. Mac Fulfer will be speaking on the art of face reading applied to client interaction, witness examination, and jury selection. He will also have a booth set up in the Exhibit Hall and will be doing free face

REGISTRATION

FACTS Why You Should Attend

reading. I have seen Mac in action, and he is truly amazing. There will be a heavy influence of substantive law tailored towards the practitioner who doesn’t handle that type of work. We want to help you add to your “knowledge toolbox” so that you can expand your practice into different areas of the law. The Sol Def Band will be jamming on Thursday night, and our new Wednesday afternoon Welcome Reception will allow first-time attendees to mix and mingle with the veterans. Your participation in the Annual Meeting is the lifeblood of the event, and I hope you take advantage of all that it has to offer.

The registration desk is in Exhibit Halls C & D in the Hot Springs Convention Center. Pre-registered attendees will receive a link to the course materials, including the online evaluation, prior to the meeting. Members can access course materials and event schedule on the ArkBar Events app. There will be a CLE materials dowloading station in the lounge area of the Exhibit Hall. The dress for the meeting is casual.

The face is the most sophisticated low-tech biometric known to man. Our face records our personal history, personality profile, preferences and decision making style. This session will explain the scientific validation for face reading and demonstrate with volunteers the type of information that can be seen on a face. The discussion will include the neuroscience breakthroughs of mirror neurons, pattern recognition, reality perceptions, zombie programs, genetic programming and epigenetic alterations, as well as the communication breakthroughs that are possible with face reading. This presentation will introduce participants to a new and faster way to accurately evaluate potential jurors using physiognomy.

Competing Fairly and Winning: A View of Ethics, Integrity and the Legal Issues from Inside the U.S. Postal Services Pro Cycling Case 12:45 - 2:45 p.m., Thursday, June 16

Travis T. Tygart, CEO, U.S. Anti-Doping Agency

>> PLENARY SPEAKER

Charting a New Course to Preserve the Integrity of Tomorrow’s Justice System 8:00 - 9:00 a.m., Friday, June 17 A panel discussion with Justin T. Allen, John Brummett, Judge Dan Kemp, Marie-Bernarde Miller, David J. Sachar and Scott C. Trotter will review proposed changes to the Canons of Judicial Conduct, Rule 2.11 Disqualification; Rule 3.13 Acceptance and Reporting of Gifts; and Rule 4.1 and 4.2 Political and Campaign Activities of Judges and Judicial Candidates.

>>DARK MONEY MAINTAINING A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL JUDICIARY

Panel discussion with retired Arkansas Associate Justice Robert Brown, Retired Judge David A. Stewart and David Sachar, Executive Director of the JDDC, of the issues surrounding the impact of money in judicial elections since the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC in 2010; the debate of judicial appointments versus judicial elections in light of changes brought on by the impact of dark money and unlimited independent expenditures; and collateral issues.

The ‘win-at-all costs’ culture seems to have taken over all levels of competition—athletic and otherwise. Given sports’ influence on society, this reality has caused athletes and non-athletes alike to cast aside the rules, ethics, and integrity and compete instead by the ‘stop at nothing’ rule regardless of the consequences to others. Many have lost confidence that integrity still matters and that you can still truly win competing fairly. This talk will explore this cultural shift in sports and provide insight to the work of the independent National Anti-Doping Organization, the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), and its mission to protect the rights of those athletes competing fairly and to ensure a playing field free of performance-enhancing drugs for all competitors. This talk will provide an inside view of USADA’s investigation into professional cycling and the legal case against Lance Armstrong and other professional cycling athletes; it will also show how this effort confirms that competing fairly with integrity in sports or business still matters and is the only way to truly win.

WEDNESDAY AttPro RISK MANAGEMENT: A RISK MANAGEMENT PRIMER > 1:45 - 4:00 P.M.

This presentation will briefly explore implicit biases in American society, in the daily lives of the attendees, and will ultimately turn to implicit bias as it manifests in the legal profession. This will include information about how lawyers are hired, paid, mentored, evaluated and promoted, how judges are evaluated, and how jurors are selected. The presentation will suggest that unchecked implicit bias may be cause for ethical concern among the profession.

The panel will discuss an overview of Citizens United v. FEC, 558 U.S. 310 (2010), as it relates to judicial elections and the impact of Williams-Yulee v. Florida State Bar, 135 S. Ct. 1656 (2015), on judicial elections.
