Welcome to our UK Random House Children's Publisher's blog. You'll find behind-the-scenes talk from us, our authors, illustrators and events... and news on the latest cakes from the publicity department!
It's Monday again! How did you spend your weekend? I spent most of mine on a train, going up and down the country. Luckily I had a bunch of good books in my bag to keep me occupied!
This week, we got to thinking about some of the stranger habits some of us have whenever we're reading. For example, last week someone confided to me that she arranges the books on her shelf by colour. Or how about the woman who admitted she leaves scary books in the fridge overnight? I even once encountered a man who tore out pages from books after he'd read them so that whenever he opened the book again he'd be right where he left off before.
It turns out some of us have some pretty odd routines when it comes to books. Well, we asked around the office and some of the confessions we got were pretty bizarre! Here's a few:
"If I'm reading a really exciting series of books, the final one has to be in hardback, because it looks so much more impressive."
"All of my books are ordered by genre and are in alphabetical order."
"I listen to Harry Potter every night before I go to sleep and listen to it in theme: for example, Christmas scenes in the run up to Christmas."
"I have forty-seven copies of Wuthering Heights."
"After reading a book I really enjoy, I hunt down all the other books the author has written and have to read them all before I move on to a new author."
"I read the same three books whenever I am ill."
"I sometimes walk the dog and read at the same time. Once the dog pulled on the lead and I dropped my book in a puddle."
"I have been known to drive and read."
"Sometimes I sit in the car after work and I don't drive home (it can get dark) until I've reached the end of the book."
What do you reckon? Think those are pretty weird, or can you match them with any strange habits of your own? Don't be shy – comment below and let us know!
With the film just days away from release, we're all getting pretty excited, but also rather impatient, waiting to see it. So, we've decided to put together a list of 5 interesting (well, we think they're interesting) bits of information about If I Stay and its incredibly talented, bestselling author, Gayle Forman.
1. Did you know that the wonderful Gayle Forman hasn't always known she wanted to be a writer? In fact, when she was little, she wanted to grow up to be the sun! This was, however, before she realised that being the sun was not a viable career option.
2. Dakota Fanning was in talks to play the part of Mia but turned it down to focus on her studies. However, it's a good thing Chloë got the role though, as we think she fits the Mia we had in our heads perfectly. It's not just us that thinks that, Gayle posted this image on her Tumblr saying:
'After seeing Chloë Moretz practicing cello for the If I Stay movie, it is so obvious how meant for this role she is. Look at this picture. It's Mia!'
3. Despite the many musical references in If I Stay, Gayle Forman actually says she isn't musical. On her website she is asked 'Are you a musician?' To which she replies:
'Not even a little bit, but if you think I am because of my books, I'm so glad because it means I did a good job of fooling you.'
She fooled us! Did she fool you?
4. Gayle Forman was asked to sort her If I Stay characters into Hogwarts houses by Buzzfeed recently. She put Mia and Adam in Gryffindor (aww) and Kim in Ravenclaw. Do you agree with her choices?
She also drew some delightful pictures of her characters, which you can see here. (Although, just a word of advice, Gayle, maybe you should stick to writing…!)
5. Our final thing for you will probably make you cry even more than the story itself, but we think it's very important piece of information. Basically, Gayle reveals in a note at the end of If I Stay that the idea for the story came from real events that happened to a family she knew. She says:
'Once upon a time there was a family: a mother, a father, a boy like Teddy and a baby. And once upon a time there was a snowy day. And a drive in a car. And a devastating car accident. And an unfathomable tragedy.'
(the rest of the story can be found in the back of copies of her paperback)
That's all we have for you today sadly, so you'll have to deal with your If I Stay pangs a little bit longer. While you wait, check out the trailer here:
Or, if that's not enough to keep you going, and you want to know more about the inspiration behind the story and read exclusive interviews with Chloë Moritz and Jamie Blackley, who play Mia and Adam, pick up a copy of the book here.
AND if that's still not enough!! Check out Gayle's website for more interesting facts and updates on the film and the book from her super cool tumblr here.

Increase in the global average surface temperature resulting from enhancement of the greenhouse effect, primarily by air pollution. In 2007 the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change forecasted that by 2100 global average surface temperatures would increase 3.27.2 °F (1.84.0 °C), depending on a range of scenarios for greenhouse gas emissions, and stated that it was now 90 percent certain that most of the warming observed over the previous half century could be attributed to greenhouse gas emissions produced by human activities (i.e., industrial processes and transportation). Many scientists predict that such an increase in temperature would cause polar ice caps and mountain glaciers to melt rapidly, significantly raising the levels of coastal waters, and would produce new patterns and extremes of drought and rainfall, seriously disrupting food production in certain regions. Other scientists maintain that such predictions are overstated. The 1992 Earth Summit and the 1997 Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change attempted to address the issue of global warming, but in both cases the efforts were hindered by conflicting national economic agendas and disputes between developed and developing nations over the cost and consequences of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.

Internship information has moved, and a link is located in the menu on the left side of the page.
Externship Program Overview
What is an externship: *Externships vary in length, but usually last three to five days. They generally involve shadowing a professional through a normal day's activities and may include informational interviews, a tour of the facility, and participation in actual office projects, etc.
What is the difference between an internship and an externship: *Externships are short-term, offer no pay (though *some* transportation funding is available through the CLS), and are hosted by alumni volunteers in various organizations to help students gain an insider's view of a career field. Internships are longer term (a semester or summer), may involve pay and academic credit, and support an organizations work function.
Why should I do an externship: *An externship is an excellent way to learn about the day-to-day work life of a professional in a career field of your choice. It offers you the chance to "test" a career without the risk of long- term commitment and can help you get your foot in the door for a competitive internship program or job.
How does this program work: CLS matches first and second year students with alumni job shadow supervisors. Students stay three to five days with the alumnus/a and observe him/her at work as a method to not only further understand that career field but how that career fits into one's life. This program is intended to be a jump off point for students to start exploring their career options and talking with professionals in order to: [1] clarify their career exploration and interests, [2] connect their course work to outside the classroom and their future plans, and [3] connect with and learn from alumni externship mentors.
Who can apply: First and second-year students have priority, but third and fourth years are welcome to apply as well.

Installing a sump pump starts with purchasing the pump. When you buy a sump pump, you will have several attributes to choose from. Sump pumps have plastic housings, thin metal houses, thicker metal as well as cast iron housings. The plastic and thinner alloy casings are most affordable, but sometimes spending a little more money on your sump pump ensures it will keep your basement safe for several years to come. So attempt to get the best you can for the money you might have. All right, we have gone over the first couple of points concerning best sump pump, of course you realize they play an important role. Of course we strongly suggest you learn more about them. We feel you will find them to be very helpful in a lot of ways. Once your understanding is more complete, then you will feel more confident about the subject. So we will provide you with a few more important points to think about.
There are eleven important factors to think about when comparing backup sump pumps: power source, charger strength, trigger, dependability, stuff used in building, functional ability, measurements, size of discharge, protection against solids or sludge, alarm notification, and manufacturer warranty.
Studying appropriate sump pump installation, restoration and substitute will save you income, and retain your home from sacrificing its resale value. To begin, today the best sump pump to obtain on your house is one that includes its own battery backup. By doing this, in case your property must eliminate electricity during storms, any water that seeps in it's still dealt with, regardless if there's energy for your pump or not.
A control automatically changes from electricity to the battery in the event of a power outage so there is no needs to worry while your home, away, at work or vacation. The satisfaction a battery powered back-up sump pump offers is priceless.
Secondly it is possible to place the sump step in the lowest point-of the attic and create a fall while in the ground 50:1 incline and be sure that water enters the chamber through the motorcycle for removal. In my opinion the best technique is to utilize a basedrian edge station in the wall/ground junction of the cellar and across construction joints. This is forged into the piece or on top if designed the proper way which approach permits you get water for the drainage pump in the sump chamber swiftly and cost effectively.
Sumps Pumps and basement sump waterproofing can be confusing. There are numerous items on the market offered to one to use in challenge and various specialists may guide diverse remedies. So here is quick guide to having the proper sump pump for your work.
A backup sump pump is just another pump which is installed to function should the primary sump pump fail. Astonishingly enough there are several reasons a primary pump may fail including: electrical power outage, float or switch breakdown, broken impeller or drive shaft, clogged intake screen.

A common marketing technique today is for businesses to send unsolicited e-mail messages to a targeted group of recipients. Even when e-mail advertisements notify recipients that they may "opt out" of receiving future e-mails, such e-mail campaigns may be significantly impacted by a new federal law known as the "Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003," or the "CAN-SPAM Act."

Even minor alleged violations involving small sums of money can become frontpage stories and public relations nightmares. In view of the legal and public relations consequences of mistakes in this area, it is no wonder that prudent corporate counsel often steer their clients clear of any significant participation in campaign activity.

The Body Support Pillow is a soft, supportive body-length pillow designed to comfort mum during and after pregnancy. The patented shape contours the body to support tummy, back and hips for a better sleep, and it is extra large for complete comfort and support. The zipped insert makes this a versatile body pillow for both mum and baby as it can be rolled into a pillow for baby's tummy time, a toddler's reading chair or mum's feeding pillow.
This is so comfy! My husband says it looks like I'm wrestling an anaconda but it's so comfy. I'm only 4 months pregnant but I was already struggling to find a comfortable position to sleep in. This pillow had great reviews so I thought I would try it out, I'm so glad I did! I've used it for 4 nights now and each night I sleep better. Buy it, you won't regret it!
Lovely pillow, fits in nice and snug (when you figure out how it works!). Husband also liked! Would recommend.
Being 16 weeks pregnant, the uncomfortable stage of sleeping has just started and after laughing at my other friend who had one of these pillows , I have now taken those jokes back! After a few days use I have been able to sleep soundly and not be woken up with pain in my hips and back.
I had a similar one with my first pregnancy, but this is just perfect! I haven't been sleeping properly through lack of comfort. The design of this is just right. I can now curl up in it and use it to support my bump at the same time! Super!
great product, good price, excellent delivery service. finally getting a good nights sleep! Will definitely order from Kiddicare again. Thanks!

A success
By Carriethecat
from Philadelphia, PA
My cat seemed to really enjoy this, which was great. I read the instructions online--couldn't find them when I got it and only found them (between the planter and the wooden base) when I was throwing the grass away. It grew very fast and was pretty on my coffee table. I will get the refill. The only thing that was not so great was that it turned yellowish like the grass was dying after about a week. (It was during very hot weather.) I watered it I guess too much because then about a week later I noticed quite a bit of mold in the soil, so I threw the plant part of it away. It didn't last all that long, but I guess it could have been the heat. and/or may cat was eating a lot of it. She seemed to really like it! I would recommend it and am very likely to purchase the refill kit.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Very healthy and was sorely needed!
By Diana
from Goodnews Bay, AK
We live in a place where my cat has no access to grass. She loves it, eats it daily, and is exhibiting less digestive upset since I began giving it to her. I also give her wild salmon oil in her raw meat/organs diet. The hairballs aren't nearly as frequent now and she's looking great at 15.I found it easier to lay the seeds in the bottom plastic planter which I poked holes in, rather than using the planter with the four planting spaces. Also, don't overwater, or you'll end up with mold.

A salad bar for felines
By Donna the animal lover
from Norristown, PA
All 3 of my cats love this product and I like that they have healthy greens to chew on to satisfy their cravings. The package is light so I find it helpful to weigh down the tray to make it easier on the critters as they are chewing.

Happy Kitty
By Happytotravel
from Missoula, MT
Our kitty loved her birthday present. After planting the seeds, she only had to wait about a week to start dining. It is a cute, sturdy box, that can be reused over and over. I purchsed two, so one could be growing while the dogs and the cat were eating on the other one. Easy to use and I am assuming it taste goods to the pets. : )
My Cats Love This
By A Bloch
from Missouri City, TX
I love the Smart Kitty's Garden. It offers my cats four varieties of grass at one time. My favorite feature is the wooden holder. It's heavy enough that my cats can't push it around as they try to eat the grass. Other cat grasses come in plastic containers that constantly spill or get moved.
Nice Idea
By Cookie's Mommy
from Smithtown, NY
I followed the instructions exact when planting. However, I still ended up with mold in the soil which I tried to scoop out as often as possible. Some grass did grow, but it was a flop. I'm disappointed but would try again. Maybe just add less water to the peat moss on the initial planting.
Fun cat treat!
By Karen
from La Crosse, WI
A fun product to try. The grasses all grew very quickly, but you really need to monitor the watering to keep mold from growing in the dirt. My cat enjoyed chewing on it even with the tips of the grasses started to yellow.
Kitties love it!
By Cat Lover
from Egg Harbor City, NJ
My kitties are indoor cats now. They need their veggies for digestion and bowels. This helps. Less hairballs and better bowls. They like the taste. This is the solution for my kitties along with laxatone which I am also using now.
Healthy, and they LOVE it!!
By Gina
from Las Vegas, Nevada
I have been giving my cats kitty grass for years, they love it! But I especially like that this comes in a very nice wooden box,now they can enjoy their grass without it tipping over and getting dirt all over! Highly recommend!!!

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Corned beef and cabbage paired with green beer is as much Irish as the fortune cookie is Chinese. Both, incidentally, come by way of immigrants who settled in early America.But as St. Patrick's celebrations gear up, we've come to associate the salty cured meat boiled in a pot an annual staple to kick off festivities.And rightly so. On paper, corned beef and cabbage may not sound like a gourmand's idea of a good time, but to quote the Lucky Charms leprechaun mascot, it's "magically delicious."So, if you want some of that mouth-melting corned beef paired with a heaping of stewed cabbage, carrots and potatoes, stop by the fourth annual Fruitvale Lions Club St. Patrick's Day Corned Beef & Cabbage Supper Saturday, March 16. The event runs from 4 to 7 p.m. at Clifton Community Hall, 126 Second St. The event is all-you-can-eat, but word of advice: Get there early to ensure seconds. (And don't forget to wear green.)The cost for the Irish-American feast is $8/adults, $5/ages 5 to 11, and under 5 is free. Lemonade and/or coffee comes with the meal. Sodas and bottled water will be for sale for an added cost.Lions Club members will also be doing the ever-popular cake and cheesecake spin-the-wheel raffle, where if you play long enough, you're virtually guaranteed to win (unless you are lacking the luck of the Irish). Net proceeds from the event will directly benefit locally-based charities and scholarships.
On the west side of the valley, the Fruita United Methodist Church is putting on its annual Maggie and Jiggs Corned Beef and Cabbage and Beef Stew Dinner Saturday, March 16. These folks have been doing this for a lot of years, like 81 years, and they know how to boil a mean slab of corned beef.The event runs from 4-6:30 p.m. at the church, located at 405 E. Aspen Ave., in Fruita.The cost is $9/adults, $5/children. Take-out is available; call ahead to 970-213-8038.

Ken Johnson should research more data before he opines that there have never been any deaths or cancer from nuclear power generation.
The Russian Chernobyl accident produced 56 direct deaths and the World Health Organization reports there was likely another 4,000 cancer deaths. The NY Academy of Sciences reported that maybe up to 985,000 world cancer deaths in the following eight years may have occurred due to Chernobyl. The Windscale nuclear power plant accident in the UK directly killed 33 persons according to that government's report. The Fukushima Japan plant meltdown produced 130 likely direct cancer deaths and a forecasted 2,500 to 38,000 additional deaths according to some research, including that done by Stanford University and Bloomberg.
There have been three Russian nuclear submarine accidents resulting in 27 direct deaths. The process of DNA destruction (especially from Iodine 131 and Cesium 137) from nuclear accidents makes tracking cancer deaths due to accidents very difficult. Thus, these public and private research entities report figures they can substantiate and on the conservative side.
Johnson also exclaimed the $450 million taxpayer DOE funds given to one small nuclear plant construction. Think of all the long-term clean wind and solar energy that could be produced for a medium-sized community with that amount. The future of this small plant will likely take millions (not billions, like the large nuclear plants) of extra taxpayer funds to federally guarantee loans, pay for the security/health care liabilities, and the plant's clean-up and waste storage costs.
Maybe if we are lucky, Green River, Utah, will build a small nuclear plant upwind to the Grand Valley. Jobs, jobs, jobs... private and governmental. Oops...isn't the later some of that government pork spending that right-wingers moan about? Or is it just not letting the government hands-off "free market" determine which energy source is most desirable?

perfect By brian on 12/14/2014brian would recommend this product to a friendEverything you need and reasonably priced
Great Product! By Aceone on 11/19/2014Aceone would recommend this product to a friendEverything you need right there!!!
Everything You Need By Ryan on 11/13/2014Ryan would recommend this product to a friendThis Replacement Filter Kit for my RO/DI system was everything I needed, and we've ordered it every single time when replacement was due. The kit shipped quickly, and was easy to understand and use. The how-to video's verified that we replaced everything correctly and with the DI Resin having a little extra, we were a little nervous that we did something incorrectly. BRS confirmed we did everything correctly, and a little excess was okay. Again, the BRS recommended replacement kit was much easier than ordering each piece separately!!
Great Product! By Aceone on 11/7/2014Aceone would recommend this product to a friendi use these and only these filters in my BRS 5 stage RODI unit. It is the best price on the internet,
Great filters By Earl T. on 10/12/2014Earl T. would recommend this product to a friendI use these and only these filters in my BRS 5 stage RODI unit. It is the best price on the internet, you know you are getting what is made for your filtration system.
great for replacing my rodi filters By Kevin on 8/23/2014Kevin would recommend this product to a friendit came with perfect instructions very simple to switch out filters but
i'm giving this filter replacement 4 stars because i believe it should come with the di resin sponges. if you read this i suggest you buy the replacement di sponges or maybe bulk reef should add them to this package.
Simple & Fast By Nicholas on 5/30/2014Nicholas would recommend this product to a friendMy system was not used for a long time and I thought it would be best to change everything out. BRS has made it really easy to buy these rather than searching the web for each part separately. Really simple and ready to use. Videos from the site helped a lot.
Great Package! By Stephane on 5/27/2014Stephane would recommend this product to a friendeverything is packages to make it easy. as a new reefer all i had to do is look up this kit and order. After, the install was done because BRS labels the filters. i just matched the labels to the canisters.
I can say that you can see the quality in these filters, they are not built cheap.... proof is when my meter still shows no TDS.
Great Filters / Great Buy By Jeff on 5/10/2014Jeff would recommend this product to a friendYes these are Great filters at a Great price but no matter what you order or no matter how much it weighs the palin old ground delivery cost a fortune and Always takes a week and a half to two weeks to get to Florida. It seems that those whos orders are under $175.00 are paying for the free shipping of the others.
Saying that...I have ordered supplies from these people for several years now, they have good quality stuff, just wait till you need $175.00 worth and don't be in a hurry.
Good Filters By John on 4/1/2014John would recommend this product to a friendMine last quite some time. Its time for a refill now. Will be going with the same parts. Fast shipping.

Strategic Plan
Executive Summary
Webster University's community has embraced a new planning methodology designed to position the university for continued success. The outcome from this methodology is an active strategic plan that has an ongoing five-year strategic horizon within a ten-year visionary outlook ending in 2020. The President and the Vice President for Finance and Administration provided leadership in advancing the current working plan which connects resource allocations to planning priorities and evaluates outcomes based on predetermined metrics. The structure of the strategic planning methodology utilizes a planning hierarchy whereby all levels of planning align with our mission, vision goals and objectives. From that, annual institutional planning creates and updates strategies and assesses performance results through established metrics in an active manner. Therefore, definitive terminology within this new process is defined below as:
- Mission tops the planning pyramid as a declaration of the general principles associated with those core values from which the university shall function as an organization. It is a declaration of the general principles based upon those core values from which the University shall function as an organization.
- Vision or visioning is the next phase of the planning process, typically done over a five-to-ten year horizon, which provides something imaginary to strive for as part of the university's future. Visioning distinguishes itself from strategic planning as being "strategic thinking". Strategic thinking or visioning is usually tied very closely to competitive goals and objectives which support the vision. It creates possibilities linked to envisioned outcomes which offer distinctiveness of product or services in the marketplace.
- Goals are those outcomes and results necessary to achieve success in support of the Vision.
- Objectives are multiple statements which describe the manner in which the outcomes or results will be achieved over a specific period of time in support of the goal.
- Strategies are plans of action designed with measurable outcomes that achieve the particular Objective within a time horizon as part of an annualized institutional plan, (i.e. New Academic Initiatives, Space Plans or Information Technology Plans)
- Metrics are measurements that quantify results so that University Strategies (action plans) can be analyzed and assessed in an unbiased manner.
Therefore, within the university's planning methodology, the following processes will remain active and will serve as tools of the planning process:
- Strategic planning is a disciplined process by which an organization seeks to craft a desired future for itself (Vision Statement) through a set of informed decisions and actions. The process requires that each functional area of the University understand the vision and commence to examine the external environment, internal capabilities, strengths/weaknesses and opportunities that are strategic in nature. It is within that context that the university's strategic plan focuses on issues identification and resolution and considers a range of possible futures through a set of informed decisions. Within the Webster University Strategic Plan, six primary goals have been developed for the university. From each one of the established goals, the strategic plan also derived a series of objectives necessary to meet the goal. These goal and objectives will remain constant over the initial five year planning horizon.
- Institutional Planning is the next subset to our strategic plan. An Institutional Plan assembles this critical information and creates milestones over a specified horizon (typically a one-to-three year period) of time and within the context of the university's strategic priorities and financial capabilities. It is the basis whereby the Goals and Objectives identified in the strategic plan are developed into implementation "strategies" and "measures of contribution" as recognized by each planning unit within the institution.
- Resource Planning and Budgeting is an outgrowth of the Institutional Plan. The university's resource planning will be responsible for quantifying each responsibility center as well as those objectives and outcome requiring resources within a five-year time horizon incorporating academic directions, capital goals, fundraising priorities and related resources for achieving them. To be successful, the resource plan will also draw upon many independent consultations with campus constituencies. The Plan will be a basic tool for local units to use in developing and assessing their own strategic goals. It is also the beginning point for the next planning cycle and the conclusion of the cycle that precedes it.
- Assessment and Audit Review is the base of the planning process. It is within this step that we determine the effectiveness of our plans by comparing the plan to the actual events. Utilizing the results of these assessments, we will make corrections and adjustments to the ongoing planning process.

12 Smart Ideas For A Simple Summer Party
Food stylist and recipe developer Susan Spungen shares her favorite summer entertaining tips
By Ingrid Abramovitch
Susan Spungen
Susan Spungen initially set out to be an artist. "But I didn't have what it takes," she says, "because I don't like to starve." Indeed, her love of food combined with her aesthetic flair has led to a lifelong vocation as a cook, food stylist, and recipe developer. Martha Stewart discovered Spungen, then a young pastry chef, and hired her as the founding food editor of Martha Stewart Living; she stayed with the company for 12 years. She has since worked as a culinary consultant for such food-centric movies as Julie & Julia, It's Complicated, and Eat Pray Love. Her guide to entertaining, What's a Hostess to Do? (Artisan), can steer us through the do's and don'ts of summer parties. But remember, Spungen says, "there is no entertaining police. Don't be afraid to make your own rules."

Criminal Department
The Criminal Department of the Attorney General's Office is responsible for representing Arkansas in both state and federal court to uphold valid convictions imposed by Arkansas judges and juries. The Department works diligently and aggressively to protect Arkansas citizens by keeping criminals lawfully in prison and off our streets.
In a further effort to protect Arkansas citizens, the Criminal Department strives to strengthen criminal laws by helping shape legislation based upon lessons learned in the courtroom. For instance, the Department in 2010 argued a troubling case in which a Level 4 sex offender was permitted to work as a carpenter in a day care center when children were present because he was not hired to "work or interact primarily and directly with" the children, as the law prohibited. The Criminal Department helped draft legislation to close that loophole and make it unlawful for sex offenders to accept work as an independent contractor, or otherwise, at a privately owned daycare facility when children are present. In addition, the Criminal Department notifies victims of crime of the status of cases being handled by the Attorney General's Office. Arkansas utilizes the automated VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) system to inform victims of crime about the cases and the defendants in those actions..
The Criminal Department represents the State of Arkansas in appeals filed by criminals in the Arkansas Court of Appeals, the Arkansas Supreme Court, and the United State Supreme Court. Defendants may appeal convictions in Arkansas circuit courts related to a variety of claims. The Criminal Department assumes the case from the local prosecutor and represents the interests of the State in the entire appellate process. After the state appellate process is complete, many prisoners may further their appeals through federal courts. The Criminal Department also represents the State in those venues. In 2012, Attorney General Dustin McDaniel argued on behalf of Arkansans before the U.S. Supreme Court in Blueford v. Arkansas, a case in which the State prevailed by a 6-3 decision. A team of attorneys from the Criminal Department worked to present to the Court the State's argument to uphold a lower court decision that a murder defendant could be retried following a mistrial without violating the Constitutional protections against double jeopardy.
The Criminal Department's attorneys and support staff work every day to protect and respond to the concerns of Arkansans.
