[Congressional Record Volume 169, Number 55 (Monday, March 27, 2023)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E259] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] IN MEMORY OF SUPREME COURT CHIEF JUSTICE JACK HOLT, JR. ______ HON. J. FRENCH HILL of arkansas in the house of representatives Monday, March 27, 2023 Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of Arkansas Supreme Court Chief Justice, Jack Holt, Jr., who passed away on March 5, 2023. Former Chief Justice Holt began his career in the United States Air Force, where he achieved the rank of Colonel. He then went on to work in Arkansas as a deputy prosecutor, chief assistant attorney general, and ultimately served as our Chief Justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court for 10 years, from 1985 to 1995. Jack Holt will be remembered for his significant contributions to the modern justice system that exists in Arkansas, including the creation of our juvenile courts. Justice Holt is accredited with setting up the essential parts of our court systems. His advancement of the education requirement for attorneys and creation of more staff positions to help circuit court judges has greatly improved the effectiveness of justice in my state. I thank Chief Justice Holt for his many years of service and contributions to the state of Arkansas. His legacy truly lives on. My prayers of comfort are with his wife Jane, their family and their friends. ____________________
