United States District Judge George Howard, Jr. Passes Away
Arkansas lost one of its greatest citizens, and the Arkansas legal community one of its most honorable members, with the passing of United States District Judge George Howard, Jr. on Saturday, May 21, 2007.
Judge Howard's passing has been covered, among other places, in the Los Angeles Times, the Long Beach Press-Telegram, Fox 13 News in Memphis, as well as in the Arkansas Business News, Springdale Morning News, Today's THV, and KATV-7.
Lawmakers quickly introduced a bill to rename the federal building and United States Courthouse in Pine Bluff in honor of Judge Howard.
