- Description/Excerpt: An analysis by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette of more than 5,700 appellate decisions from 1997-2007 involving the state’s 118 circuit judges has produced information the state doesn’t keep - how often decisions by trial judges hold up on review.
The analysis showed that on average, Arkansas’ circuit judges are affirmed 80 percent of the time. Some judges are rarely reversed. Some have been reversed about half the time.
