Byron Eiseman retires from teaching after 50 years Friday, Eldredge & Clark Attorney Byron M. Eiseman Jr. is retiring as an adjunct professor of tax law with the UA Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law after 50 years of service. On Thursday, May 17, the school hosted a reception in his honor to celebrate his contribute to the school and the legal profession. As an adjunct professor since 1968, Eiseman has taught approximately 3,000 students in classes related to accounting, income tax law, business and corporate taxation, estate planning and estate and gift taxation. The impact of his 50-year

teaching career is evident in the success of many of the attorneys he taught; some of whom went on to practice law with him at Friday, Eldredge & Clark, LLP, where Eiseman is still an active partner. For Eiseman, teaching did not stop when he left the classroom. For many in the firm, his continued involvement in their careers has been an invaluable experience. “To be able to learn from and work with that kind of attorney has been really amazing,” said Attorney Sarah Cotton Patterson referring to Eiseman as the go-to tax attorney in Arkansas.

“He has been a tremendous mentor my entire time here, but in particular when I was a young lawyer.” It is that commitment to the firm’s legacy that compels the now former professor to mentor others. “He is without peer as a mentor and teacher,” said Price Gardner, who has been with Eiseman at the firm for nearly 30 years. “Even to this day he is a resource for our tax lawyers with his knowledge and experience. Working with Byron allowed you to get involved early with clients and helped guide you through the applica-

tion of the law to the facts and personalities involved. The lessons learned from watching him work with clients and people on the other side were more valuable than anything he taught you from the Internal Revenue Code. I think that practical experience made him a tremendous asset to the law school and those students that were fortunate enough to have him as a teacher.” Gardner added he has known Eiseman for 45 years having first met Eiseman when he taught his Sunday school class as a child.

is Katie Watson Bingham, an associate with the firm. Bingham describes Eiseman as a “great and patient teacher, an encourager, a mentor and a friend.” “He has enriched my life, and I count myself blessed to know him and to work with him,” she said.

LEGACY Eiseman began his career as a tax lawyer in 1964, when the firm was known as Smith, Williams, Friday & Bowen. He started teaching only a few years later, when the school was an extension of the University of Arkansas and only a part-time program. It was at that time when the Dean of the University of Arkansas Law School, Ralph Barnhart, approached William H. Bowen to teach an accounting class for lawyers at the Little Rock school. But it was Eiseman who got the job. “Bill told me I was the CPA and he wasn’t, so I was going to teach the class … and you didn’t argue with Bowen,” Eiseman said. By 1975, Eiseman had been a partner for five years in the firm CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

FATHER’S DAY - LESSONS ABOUT MONEY CAN BE PRICELESS GIFTS TO CHILDREN

ather’s Day is almost upon us. If you’re a dad, you certainly may enjoy getting cards and gifts, of course. But, over time, you will gain even greater satisfaction by what you can give your children – such as some valuable financial lessons. These lessons can include the following: Setting goals – If you are contributing to an IRA and a 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored plan, explain how you build these accounts now, while you are working, so you’ll have enough money to enjoy a comfortable retirement someday. And you can bring your children into the picture, too, by telling them that another financial goal is saving enough to help send them to college or to further their education in other ways. Value of understanding the financial markets – You may actually be quite surprised at how interested your kids are in investing, especially the concept of “owning” companies through stocks and stock-based vehicles. Depending on their ages, you might even want to show them the progress of your own investments and describe, in general terms, how different events can cause the markets to rise and fall, especially in the short term. You could even discuss the difference between the basic types of investments, such as stocks and bonds. Putting time on your side – You might want to emphasize the importance of patience, and how investing is not a “getrich-quick” scheme, but a process that requires decades of diligence and persistence. Let your children know that it’s of great value to start investing as early as possible, so you can put time on your side, giving investments a chance to grow. Living within your means – We all know that you can’t always get what you want. Stress to your children that you can’t just splurge on big purchases whenever you feel like it, because such behavior can lead to bad outcomes. Use concrete examples: If you have a car that’s several years old, tell your children that it would be nice to have a new one, but you simply must wait until you can afford it. Paying debts on time – Tell your children that, no matter how good a saver you are, or how thrifty you try to be, you still have debts, such as your mortgage payment, and it’s important to pay these debts on time. You may not want to get too detailed about the consequences of missing debt payments – bad credit scores may not be that easy for children to understand – but you can certainly mention that if you’re always late on payments, you might find it harder to borrow money when you really need it. By sharing these principles with your children, you will, at the least, give them something to think about, and you may well find that you’ve helped start them on the path to a lifetime of making solid financial moves. And who knows? If they truly master the ideas you’ve taught them, one day they might give you some really nice Father’s Day gifts.

Northwest Ark. Cmty. College & Pub. Emple. v. Migliori, 2018 Ark. App. 286 (May 3, 2018) This appeal comes from the Arkansas Workers’ Compensation Claims Division and involves its determination of a compensable head injury caused by falling off a yoga ball. Heidi Migliori was employed as an administrative analyst for the vice president of learning at Northwest Arkansas Community College (“NWACC”). On July 28, 2016, she arrived at work, retrieved a yoga ball from a coworker’s office, placed the ball on the floor in front her desk, sat down on the ball, and began to work at her computer. However, she had never sat on a yoga ball before, and, when she needed a book behind her, she turned and instinctively pushed off from her desk, causing her to fall off the ball and hit the left side of her head on the desk. She reported the injury to NWACC, sought medical treatment for a head injury, and later requested workers’-compensation benefits. NWACC controverted the claim, contending that she did not sustain a compensable injury and that her need for medical treatment was not related to the alleged injury but rather to preexisting medical issues. At the hearing before the ALJ, Migliori testified that after she fell off the ball, she called a coworker, Lindsey White. She stated that White, along with coworker Cheryl Wagner, came to her assistance. Wagner called the NWACC human-resources representative, who filled out the first report of injury dated the same day as the fall and stated that Migliori’s injury was “Concussion,” the part of the body affected was “Skull,” and that the injury was caused when “Heidi pushed backwards on the yoga chair she uses as a chair at her desk and rolled off the chair hitting the back of her head on her wooden desk.” Migliori testified that, as a result of the accident, she experienced left-side facial numbness, left-ear ringing, neck pain, vertigo (dizziness), and headaches. She testified that soon after she fell, she was seen by an NWACC nurse, who diagnosed her with a contusion and sent her to Mercy Clinic for treatment. The Clinic’s medical report stated that Migliori “hit back of head at 07:16 this morning falling off a yoga ball chair, HA, struggling to read forms here, left ear pain/pressure/ numbness/tingling, shaky, denies other symptoms.” Migliori subsequently returned to Mercy Clinic and was seen by Dr. David Sitzes. In his August 1 report, Dr. Sitzes stated

that Migliori was experiencing ringing in the left ear and eye twitching. He stated that Migliori reported that the “bump is gone” but still felt pain, and the left side of her face felt swollen. He requested CT scans which were normal. One of the radiology reports reflected that she had been diagnosed with postconcussion headache; pressure, hearing loss, and tinnitus in the left ear; vertigo; contusion of the scalp; and visual impairment. Migliori requested a referral to her chiropractor, Dr. Kent Moore who she saw six times from August 4 to September 6, 2016. He later opined that Migliori’s head injury was work related and was supported by objective findings and the injury was the major cause for her need of his treatment. Migliori admitted that she had been a patient of Dr. Moore’s for spine issues, along with headache and migraine complaints, following a car accident in April 2012 that gave her severe whiplash and headaches. She said that she had been released from Dr. Moore’s treatment in April 2013 but continued to see him as needed. She stated that the symptoms she experienced after the yoga ball fall were “most certainly different” from the problems she had after the car accident. Migliori stated that Dr. Sitzes restricted her from work for two weeks and assigned her to lightduty work for two weeks after that. He released her to return to work full duty on August 28, 2016. She stated that she was no longer experiencing problems related to the accident and has been working full time since September 1, 2016. In March 2017 she was seen by an audiologist, Dr. Shawn Key, because of continuing symptoms. He stated in his report of the same date, that she had been diagnosed with a concussion after she fell off a yoga ball and hit her head with force on a desk. He diagnosed her with mild left-unilateral sensory hearing loss. He acknowledged that she suffered from mild hearing loss in her left ear in 2012, yet he also opined that Migliori’s change in tinnitus, postconcussion, could be due to swelling around the nerves and that her vertigo “is more likely than not a result of the impact to her head, which resulted in a concussion.” NWACC contested her eligibility for benefits based on her prior medical history and the testimony of White and Wagner who stated they did not see a bruise or any bleeding when they went to assist her and did not think there was any significant injury. However, Wagner admitted when shown a picture of the

contusion that Migliori had thick hair and she could not dispute it if a doctor found she had a contusion. After hearing all the evidence, the ALJ determined that there was no question that the fall occurred at work and that Migliori took all the appropriate steps in reporting the injury and completing the claims process. The ALJ then found that Migliori’s testimony was credible and was supported by two witnesses and the medical evidence. The ALJ found that medical records reflected that she suffered a concussion and a scalp contusion and that she was restricted from work for two weeks as per doctor’s orders. The ALJ stated that while Migliori suffered from ringing in the ears before the July 2016 fall, based on Dr. Key’s medical report, this condition was worsened by the 2016 fall. The ALJ further stated that there were objective findings to support the injury and that they were causally connected to Migliori’s work-related incident. The ALJ found that Migliori had proved that the medical treatment she received was reasonably necessary for her compensable head injury; thus, she was entitled to medical benefits. Finally, the ALJ found that Migliori met her burden of proving that she was taken off work for a twoweek period and suffered a total incapacity to earn wages; accordingly, she was entitled to temporary total-disability benefits. On appeal to the Commission, it adopted the ALJ’s opinion and NWACC appealed. The Court of Appeals noted that the Commission was permitted to adopt the findings and conclusions of the ALJ and that it would look to the ALJ’s decision as that of the Commission. It noted that on appeal it would view the evidence in the light most favorable to the Commission’s decision and must affirm if it is supported by substantial evidence which is simply evidence that a reasonable mind might accept as adequate. It further noted that the determination of the credibility of witnesses was the exclusive province of the Commission and that it was within the Commission’s province to reconcile conflicting evidence. Applying these standards, the Court of Appeals found that the Commission had the duty of weighing medical evidence and resolving conflicting evidence was a question of fact for the Commission. Moreover, it had the authority to accept or reject medical opinions, and its resolution of the medical evidence had the force and effect of a jury verdict. It also noted that the Commission may not arbitrarily disregard medical evidence or the testimony of any witness. However, here, it held the Commission did not disregard the medical evidence but weighed it, giving more weight to Dr. Key’s opinion that Migliori’s current complaints were caused by her fall from the yoga ball and not her preexisting conditions. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the determination of the Commission. v

UA Little Rock artists featured in Delta Exhibition by TR ACY CO U R AG E

Ashdown, 19 miles north of Texarkana, was founded on June 11, 1892. (Photo courtesy of Arkansas Department of Parks & Tourism)

This Week in Arkansas History JUNE 11, 1892 Ashdown was incorporated. It grew from a small agricultural community, first known as Turkey Flats, then Keller, and finally Ashdown. It was named by Judge Lawrence Alexander Byrne, who owned several sawmills in the area and who reportedly, following a fire at his Keller mill, stated that, though his mill had “burned down to ashes,” he was going to found a town there named Ashdown. Ashdown is located in the far southwestern corner of Arkansas, about nineteen miles north of Texarkana. The town lies among rich, fertile land, ideal for growing cotton, soybeans, rice, corn, wheat, and other crops. However, its greatest industry is timber.

JUNE 12, 1980 The public got its first look at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s plan to end a ten-year-long controversy by taking control over major areas in the middle and lower Cache River Basin for a national waterfowl refuge. The 62,000-acre Cache River National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1986, is the most important wintering area for ducks and the largest remaining tract of contiguous bottomland hardwood forest in North America. It runs along the floodplain of the Cache River and Bayou DeView for seventy air miles from the mouth of the Cache River at Clarendon to Grubbs, encompassing Jackson, Monroe, Prairie, and Woodruff counties. In February 2004, the ivory-billed woodpecker, once thought extinct, was rediscovered on the refuge.

JUNE 13, 1986 A wagon train that had begun in Fayetteville on March 1, 1986, to celebrate Arkansas’s sesquicentennial ended in Little Rock after traveling around the state at four miles per hour. The

goal of the wagon train was to unite all Arkansans by traveling within fifty miles of most communities in the state. Ironically, the wagon train broke into two factions because of in-fighting, with the two segments following different routes. Communities planned events such as historical pageants, craft shows, and musical entertainment to coincide with the wagon train’s nightly camp.

Three University of Arkansas at Little Rock staff and faculty members have art in the Arkansas Arts Center’s 60th Annual Delta Exhibition on display through Aug. 26, 2018. The exhibit showcases 52 contemporary works by 46 artists living or working in Arkansas and border states. AJ Smith of Little Rock, an art professor at UA Little Rock, created a graphite on paper drawing titled “Faces of the Delta: Geraldine.” It is one in series of Smith’s large-scale graphite pencil drawings that portray people living in remote Arkansas and Mississippi Delta communities. Benjamin Krain of Maumelle, a photographer at UA Little Rock, has a metallic photographic print on Kodak Endura paper titled “Trains,” which was taken in North Little Rock. Krain was a long-time photojournalist for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette before joining UA Little Rock earlier this year. EISEMAN

and the school became a unit of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock which was later named after Bowen in 2000. One of the legacies Eiseman leaves behind at UA Little Rock Bowen School of Law is the formation of the law chair professorships. “He was instrumental in creating, negotiating and Lillian Eichenberger Mickel fundraising for these professorwas born in Clarksville.

Marjorie Williams-Smith of Little Rock, professor emeritus in UA Little Rock’s Department of Art and Design, created “The Messengers,” using copper point, aluminum point, silverpoint, Conte crayon, and graphite pencil on black acrylic gessoed paper. Their art is among the 52 works selected from more than 1,400 submissions. “Every year, the Delta Exhibition gives Arkansas Arts Center patrons the opportunity to experience some of the Delta region’s most talented contemporary artists,” said Todd Herman, Arkansas Arts Center executive director. Founded in 1958, the exhibition provides a unique snapshot of the Delta region and reflects the region’s strong traditions of craftsmanship and observation, combined with an innovative use of materials and an experimental approach to subject matter. This year’s exhibition was juried by a panel of three distinguished art professionals: Bradbury Art Museum direc-

tor Les Christensen, conceptual artist Shea Hembrey, and Baum Gallery director Brian K. Young. “We selected work with faux fur, coffee, cold wax, ziatype, video, yucca, fluorescent tubing, resin, found objects, copper point, and of course the traditional materials,” Young said. “Despite this seemingly endless list of media, there is a thoughtfulness and subtlety in nearly all of the works. These traits come in the manner in which these Delta artists have captured the essence of the region. People, place and nature remain strong unifiers.” The exhibit is located at the Arkansas Arts Center at 9th and Commerce streets in Little Rock. Admission is free. Gallery hours are 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, contact 501-372-4000 or visit the Arkansas Arts Center website.

Golf, watch TV, take up a new hobby? No, Eiseman wants to continue giving back to his profession. “I want to work on pulling all the firm’s history together and maybe publishing it into a book,” he said. It might be an end to Eiseman’s teaching career, but there is still work to be done and a story to tell. Now, the next chapter begins.
