This week on Up In Your Business with Kerry McCoy, I’ll be sitting down with the retired Honorable Judge Mr. Robert L. Brown. You may not readily know his name, but you know his work and are living by some of the rules and laws he studied, argued, and enacted while serving as associate justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court from 1991 until his retirement in 2012.
This man of law and literature is well educated, thoughtful, and a prolific writer. Currently, he is counsel to Little Rock law firm Friday, Eldredge & Clark.
In 2010 Counselor Brown published his own book, titled Defining Moments: Historic Decisions by Arkansas Governors from Sid McMath through Mike Huckabee. In his book, he writes about the 10 consecutive governors of Arkansas that, during their tenure, made difficult choices in education, environment, social justice, political corruption, creationism and more.
Listen to hear first-hand accounts of Arkansas folklore from Mr. Brown, who personally knew and worked with nine of the ten governors he writes about in his book. His perspective is more than just historical data, it comes from his personal experience and knowledge of these Arkansas leaders, some of which later became a US president, two US senators, and two presidential contenders.
