Sep 2018

I spent a couple days tracing the history of an Arkansas state statute from the just after the Civil War to date. I was so excited to find Gnatt's Digest of Arkansas Statutes (1874) on line - in a searchable format. I was able to trace all amendments from there to date. I was pulling dusty old volumes off the firm library shelves that hadn't been touched in decades.

I geeked out! I can't even find another lawyer who thinks it's interesting. (I'm sure opposing counsel will not enjoy the history detailed in my brief.) Nevertheless, I had a ball - and got paid for it!
