Justice Shawn Womack of the Arkansas Supreme Court presided over the swearing-in ceremony of Circuit Judge Johnnie Copeland on Jan. 1. Judge Copeland succeeds Judge Gordon Webb, who retired after a long and distinguished career in public service as both a prosecuting attorney and circuit judge.
Judge Copeland has practiced law in Mountain Home since 2006 and served as a deputy prosecuting attorney for the 14th Judicial District since 2015. In 2017, she was appointed Fulton County district judge by Gov. Asa Hutchinson. Judge Copeland will be hearing civil and domestic cases filed in Baxter, Boone, Newton and Marion counties.
Newly seated 14th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Johnnie Copeland administered the oath of office to 10 members of the Baxter County Quorum Court Tuesday evening to kick off the evening’s proceedings.
New members Dennis Frank, District 1, and Roger Steele, District 8, joined eight returning members of the quorum court for the first meeting of the new year. Baxter County Judge Mickey Pendergrass told the justices that new District 2 member Angela DeGroote sent her regrets, as she was practicing COVID-19 protocols after having been exposed to an individual with the coronavirus.
The court then breezed through a nine-item agenda in about 20 minutes. Much of the items were routine housekeeping matters and confirmation of Judge Pendergrass’ appointments to fire protection boards.
