Supreme Court of Arkansas

John E. Kiesling, Jr. v. Arkansas Professional Bail Association

December 7, 2017532 S.W.3d 567

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal as moot because a 2017 amendment removed the Arkansas Professional Bail Association's statutory authority to establish continuing-education programs and fee schedules. That amendment eliminated the controversy and provided Kiesling the relief he sought, so deciding his constitutional and standing arguments would have produced only an advisory opinion.
