Lisk reappointed to mock trial committee

Lynn Lisk of Fort Smith, program director and assistant professor in the Legal Assistance/Paralegal program at the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith, has been reappointed to the Mock Trial Committee of the Arkansas Bar Association.

Lisk will also serve as the regional coordinator for the Mock Trial Competition in 2011, which will be held on the UAFS campus. His appointment by Arkansas Bar Association president Jim L. Julian of Little Rock will become effective during the Arkansas Bar Association’s 2010 annual meeting in June.

Lisk, who came to UAFS 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 by the Arkansas Supreme Court in December 2008 to a three-year term on the Arkansas Continuing Legal Education Board. Arkansas attorneys are required to earn 12 hours of continuing legal education credit, including one hour of ethics, every year in order to maintain their licenses to practice.

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.
