I don't really practice law so I can get my name in the paper. I practice law to represent clients. I have the privilege of representing the United Coalition for Reason (UnitedCoR) in a case that we--unfortunately--had to file here in Little Rock. My client was denied the right to advertise on Central Arkansas Transit buses through the means of imposing a series of unreasonable conditions on our purchase of the advertisement. I'll ask you to simply rely on the pleadings and the evidence, which have now been made available in numerous places on the Internet, to decide for yourself if our position has merit. This blog is not supposed to be about my cases. It's supposed to be about me. In the right forum--the Courts--and at the right time--I'm proud to stand up for our position.
I did get the privilege of appearing on a couple of television stations, and having my name published in a few additional newspapers. I was on KATV and KTHV and my name appeared in some of the newspaper articles as well.
This is just the beginning of the lawsuit. The Central Arkansas Transit Authority and its agent, On the Move Advertising, have 21 days from service of the Complaint on them to file their answer.
