Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the contributions of Judge Edward
Thomas Smitherman, Jr. to Hot Springs, Arkansas and congratulate him on
his retirement.
For more than 16 years, Judge Smitherman served on the bench of the
18th Judicial Circuit-East, both as a circuit and chancery judge. He served
with distinction as the circuit's first administrative judge, a member
of the Ad Hoc Committee on Uniform Reporting of Case Information, and as
chairman of the Board of Certified Court Reporter Examiners. Judge Smitherman
has also given back to the Hot Springs community by serving on several
civic boards including the Hot Springs Optimist Club, the Area Council
of Aging, the Boys Club, the Salvation Army and the Hot Springs School
Board.
I wish Judge Smitherman the best of luck and success in future endeavors
and safe travels in his retirement. |
