Is state government immune to lawsuits? Arkansas Supreme Court considers the question re: LRSD takeover
June 3, 20212:07 pm The state Supreme Court heard arguments Thursday on whether the Department of Education can be sued over its takeover of LRSD.
The government of Arkansas cannot do whatever it likes and face zero legal consequences, attorney
Ross Noland argued at the state Supreme Court Thursday in an ongoing bid to liberate the Little Rock School District.
Noland and
Clarke Tuckerfiled their case to free the district from state occupation last year, but the state Board of Education tried to get the case dismissed by asserting sovereign immunity, which means the state cannot be sued for violating state laws. (Tucker has since been elected to the Arkansas Senate and withdrawn from the case, but was a reliable champion for LRSD independence during the 2021 legislative session).
