First Priority? The Neglect Of Rural Development By Federal Agencies, And How Arkansas Could Respond, Steve Sheppard
First Priority? The Neglect Of Rural Development By Federal Agencies, And How Arkansas Could Respond, Steve Sheppard
Steve Sheppard
Rural areas are given first priority as prospective locations for new federal facilities pursuant to the Rural Development Act (“RDA”), which requires federal agencies to adopt policies that give first priority to rural areas when setting up facilities in new locations.

The term “rural area” is defined under § 343(a) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, which specifies a rural area is not a city or town that has a population of more than 50,000, or an urbanized …
The Shackles Of Covenant Marriage: Who Holds The Keys To Wedlock?, Chauncey Brummer

State policies of marital stability may be better served by other premarital options that reinforce marriage’s contractual and religious significance.

The Case For Expanding Child Support Obligations To Cover Post-Secondary Educational Expenses, Carol Goforth
Carol Goforth
In Arkansas, a parent is only required to pay child support until the child turns eighteen or graduates from high school. Given the rising college tuition expenses and the increasing necessity for Post-Secondary Education to earn a living, the statute should be amended to extend a parent’s obligation further, to aid their child’s entry into college. In the past, exceptions have been made when a child had a severe handicap that justified further support. Recently, some states have required continued child support to help with the cost of tuition. For example, North Dakota issued a list of factors that could …
