Saturday morning in Charlotte

Got up before the events started this morning and ran the perimeter of downtown Charlotte and out into some of the more urban residential sections of the city. Great run -- no humidity, but I was also the only runner I saw out on the streets. I've driven through Charlotte twice, but this is my first time to spend some time in the city, and I'm impressed. I was a sophomore at the UofA when the Razorbacks won the Final Four here in '94, and my roommate and several others made the trek over here to see it in person.



We're in the process of wrapping up this inter-branch conference on the judiciary, and I'm coming home re-energized and ready to implement some of the items we've discussed over here. Here's a picture of Arkansas Bar President Rosalind Mouser with Sen. David Johnson. This morning's wrap-up includes a summary of the discussions of our "speak out sessions" on topics that include inter-branch cooperation, adequate funding, communication among stakeholders, and maintaining fairness and impartility in state courts.
