xx [287 STANDARDS FOR PUBLICATION OF OPINIONS Rule 21 Rules of the Arkansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals OPINIONS 1. All signed opinions of the Supreme Court shall be designated for publication. ,
2. Opinions of the Court of Appeals may be in conventional form or in memorandum form. They shall be filed with the Clerk. The opinions need not contain a detailed statement of the facts, but may set forth only such matters as may be necessary to an understandable discussion of the errors urged. In appeals from decisions of the Arkansas Board of Review in unemployment compensation cases when the Court finds the decision appealed from is supported by substantial evidence, that there is an absence of fraud, no error of law appears in the record and an opinion would have no precedential value, the order may be affirmed without opinion.
3. Opinions of the Court of Appeals which resolve novel or unusual questions will be released for publication when the opinions are announced and filed with the Clerk. The Court of Appeals may consider the question of whether to publish an opinion at its decision-making conference and at that time, if appropriate, make a tentative decision not to publish. Concurring and dissenting opiniOns will be published only if the majority opinion is published. All opinions that are not to be published shall be marked, Not Designated For Publication.
4. Opinions of the Court of Appeals not designated for publication shall not be published in the official reports and shall not be cited, quoted, or referred to by any court or in any argument, brief, or other materials presented to any court (except in continuing or related litigation upon an issue such as res judicata, collateral estoppel, or law of the case). Opinions not designated for publication shall be listed in the Arkansas Reports by case number, style, date, and disposition.
Ark.] STANDARDS FOR PUBLICATION OF OPINIONS xxi 5. Copies of All Opinions Available. - In every case the Clerk will furnish without charge one typewritten copy of all of either court's published or unpublished opinions in the case to counsel for every party on whose behalf a separate brief was filed. The charge for additional copies is fixed by statute.
