The December 2024 meeting of the Clark County Quorum Court was an emotional one for longtime Justice of the Peace Albert Neal, who finished a 30-year stint on the county’s legislative panel with honors from the Arkansas Senate.

Neal, 88, is the longest-serving justice of the peace in Clark County history, having maintained a seat as District 4’s representative since 1993. He opened his final meeting with an eloquent invocation. Neal would later wipe tears as county Judge Troy Tucker described him as the epitome of a justice of the peace.

State Sen. Steve Crowell read a proclamation recognizing Neal for his service. Neal was presented with an Arkansas state flag that was flown, in his honor, over the state Capitol on Dec. 5. He was also given a token, plaque and certificate honoring his “steadfast leadership.”
