ARKANSAS BAR fOUNDA r'ON by: Cyril Hollingsworth
The work of the Arkansas Bar Foundation takes many forms. Two of the basic, ongoing programs of the Foundation are scholarships for law students and awards recognizing outstanding service to the legal profession and to the public. Scholarships Through The Foundation. The Foundation manages and provides income from funds which have been contributed for scholarships to students at both the University of Arkansas School of Law and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock School of Law. The Foundation provides some scholarships in its own name from general funds contributed to the Foundation. However, most of the scholarship funds are the result of specific scholarships in memory or recognition of individuals or firms.

Time to Consider Awards. Now is the time for each local .bar association to be aware of the recognition given by the Arkansas Bar Foundation each year to the work and programs of local bar associations. The Foundation encourages each bar association to submit an entry for such awards. which are given each year at the annual meeting of the Arkansas Bar Association. The Foundation also considers awards for the outstanding lawyer and the outstanding lawyer citizen, and also honors from time to time lawyers who have rendered special meritorious service to the public. Recommendations or inquiries concerning these awards can be directed to the Arkansas Bar Foundation, 400 West Markham, Little Rock, Arkansas 72201, with attention to the Awards Committee. The Foundation encourages the publication of articles in The Arkansas Lawyer by giving an award each year for the best article in a legal category and the best article in a general category. The winners in the legal category last year were Chris Barrier for the article entitled "Usury In Arkansas: Update and Countdown" and Larry Yancey for the article entitled "Charitable Giving-Philanthropy-Can Generate Tax Benefits." The award in the general category was made to the Attorney General of the United States, William French Smith, for his article entitled "Growing Public Discontent With A Civil and Criminal Justice System." The Writing Awards Committee is chaired by Neva B. Talley.
