UAFS professor appointed to Arkansas Bar Association committee

Lynn Lisk, program director and assistant professor in the Legal Assistance/Paralegal program at the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith, was reappointed for a fourth term to the Mock Trial Committee of the Arkansas Bar Association. Lisk will also serve as the regional coordinator for the Mock Trial Competition in February 2010, scheduled to be held on the UAFS campus for the third time.

Lisk, who came to UA Fort Smith in 2004, is a licensed attorney in Arkansas and Colorado and was admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court and the 5th, 8th, and Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal, as well as the Federal District and Bankruptcy Courts for Arkansas and the Northern District of Texas.

Lisk was appointed last December by the Arkansas Supreme Court to a three-year term on the Arkansas Continuing Legal Education Board.

Lisk has been published in the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Journal and had those articles cited by the courts and other scholarly writers as an authority on the issues involved. He is a member of the American and Arkansas Bar Associations, American and Arkansas Trial Lawyers Associations and Arkansas Attorneys for Consumer Protection.
