5 (Circuit Court judges per circuit (general civil + criminal jurisdiction across five subject-matter divisions: civil, criminal, juvenile, probate, domestic relations); District Court judges (limited jurisdiction) separate. Vintage 2026 arcourts.gov; counts for small rural circuits are approximate (single-county or single-judge circuits typically carry 2-4 judges per Ark. Code Ann. § 16-13-2402). Five circuits (8th, 9th, 11th, 18th, 19th) are administratively subdivided into East/West subdistricts for judge-residence purposes; the counts here combine both subdistricts.)
