Changes in district's administrative plan requires Public Defender Commission to create 6 new positions in Sixth Judicial District

The Arkansas Public Defender Commission has been authorized by the Legislative Council to create six new positions in the 6th Judicial District with a total projected cost of more than $760,000. The action is the result of changes in the district's administrative plan approved by the Arkansas Supreme Court under which an additional circuit judge will begin hearing criminal cases in Pulaski County, starting next year.
