A University of Arkansas School of Law professor’s first guest column on FindLaw.com, one of the Internet’s most visited law-related sites, has been published. Steve Sheppard, the William H. Enfield Professor of Law, joins legal experts such as former White House Counsel John Dean and constitutional law scholars Akil Amar and Michael Dorf as a FindLaw.com columnist.

His column takes up a recent Supreme Court decision regarding whether a judge who receives large campaign contributions from a company will be perceived as being unbiased if a lawsuit involving that company comes before the court. The Suprement Court split on that question.
