SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS
IN RE SUSPENSION OF Opinion Delivered April 18, 2024
ATTORNEYS WHO FAILED TO PAY
2024 ANNUAL ATTORNEY-LICENSE
FEE
PER CURIAM
The final deadline for attorneys to pay the 2024 annual attorney-license fee was April
15, 2024. As required by Rule VII(C)(9) of the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar, the
clerk of this court has prepared a list of all suspended attorneys, which is attached to this per
curiam. The list is divided into three categories. Category 1 consists of those attorneys who
were automatically suspended on April 16, 2024, by operation of Rule VII(C)(1) and (8)
for failure to pay the annual fee and who remain suspended as of the issuance of this per
curiam. Category 2 consists of those attorneys who were automatically suspended on April
16, 2024, for failure to pay the fee but have since become current and reinstated to their
pre-suspension status. We caution that placement in Category 2 is proof of good standing
only as to payment of license fees. Category 3 consists of those attorneys who have remained
suspended for more than three consecutive years for failure to pay annual license fees and
whose licenses were deemed surrendered as of April 16, 2024, per Rule VII(C)(17). An
attorney listed in either Category 1 or 3 shall not practice law in this state unless he or she
has been (1) reinstated pursuant to Rule VII(C)(16)–(17) &(D) or (2) exempted during a
stay of the suspension as provided in Rule VII(C)(15).
