Case Notes

Funding of Court.

Where circuit and chancery judge issued an order setting the salaries of the judicial district's probation officer and intake officer at $18,000.00 per year, and petitioners, members of the county quorum court, voted to pay county's share of the salary, but at the rate of only $15,000.00 per year, petitioners did not fail to fund the court, there was no showing that level of funding was so low that the court could not effectively operate and the inherent authority doctrine did not apply. Abbott v. Spencer, 302 Ark. 396, 790 S.W.2d 171 (1990).
