... Council Notes, continued from page 41 of Frank Mackey, Jr.'s Professional Ethics and Grievances committee, which had labored long and hard in reviewing and analyzing the draft. We may expect, however, to see the Code of Professional Responsibility as a major focus of attention in Bar activities for the next few years, much as it was during the late 1960's when Arkansas' Ed Wright oversaw a major updating of the Code.
By a substantial margin, the House voted to endorse repeal of the "guest statute", but delayed consideration of the Uniform Comparative Fault Act.
ceived the attention of the Real Estate Law Committee and the Consumer Law Committee. These two committees apparently had arrived at a workable compromise, one which would very likely parallel the efforts of the Attorney General's Office as well.
The Title Protection Act was endorsed and the Marketable Record Title Act will be back in the legislative package.

The proposed Constitution of 1980 was endorsed by an almost unanimous vote. However, the proposed judicial selection article aroused a substantial amount of controversy. In the final vote, the merit selection system was endorsed by a vote of 25 for and 20 against, non-partisan elections having been defeated by a vote of 23 against and 21 for.
Several bills dealt with juvenile justice, underlining the need for revision, both substantively and procedurally. 42/Arkansas Lawyer/January 1981
