May 27, 20102010 Ark. LEXIS 313
Summary
Justice Brown dissented from the majority's refusal to reach the student's free-speech claim on the ground that the argument was insufficiently developed. The dissent would have addressed whether a high-school student's playing an audio clip from a cell phone was protected under the Arkansas Constitution, guided in part by federal free-speech decisions and the Arkansas Civil Rights Act. No separate opinion was provided beyond this dissent.
