In re Courtney Rae Hudson v. Arkansas Administrative Office of the Courts
Relying on the state high court’s general superintending control over all state courts, vacated a circuit court preliminary injunction that had prevented the administrative office of the courts and the office of professional conduct from complying with a FOIA request for certain communications with the state supreme court chief justice. The state high court also referred the chief justice and her attorney , who had sought the injunction, to state ethics bodies.
