Discussion Forum: Arkansas Supreme Court Justice Candidates

For the first time since 2017, the Arkansas Supreme Court will soon have a new chief justice. But it's up to Arkansas voters to choose who will lead the state's highest court.

Hear from all four candidates seeking the position in a forum recorded live on Feb. 7, 2024 at the CALS Ron Robinson Theater in downtown Little Rock.

  • Barbara Womack Webb, Arkansas Supreme Court associate justice
  • Rhonda Wood, Arkansas Supreme Court associate justice
  • Karen Baker, Arkansas Supreme Court associate justice
  • Jay Martin, attorney and former member of the Arkansas House of Representatives


The forum is sponsored by the Central Arkansas Library System, the League of Women Voters of Pulaski County and Little Rock Public Radio. Early voting in the nonpartisan judicial election begins on February 20, and Election Day is March 5.

Hear an edited version of the discussion above, and the full unedited conversation in a video below.
