The recent untimely death of Maude Parkman signals the end of a chapter in the annals of court reporting in this state. A former employee of the Arkansas Supreme Court and a court reporter with the Pulaski County Chancery Court, Ms. Parkman made an enduring contribution to the state's legal system as Executive Secretary to the Board of Certified Court Reporter Examiners. She was, indeed, the Board's only Executive Secretary since its inception.
Members of the legal community will remember Ms. Parkman as a witty, candid, and intelligent woman. The Arkansas Supreme Court wishes to pay tribute to her indomitable spirit and her tenacious zeal for public service. Maude Parkman's unique qualities will be missed.
