IN RE SUSPENSION OF ATTORNEYS WHO FAILED TO PAY 2025 ANNUAL ATTORNEY-LICENSE FEE

SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS

May 1, 2025

2025 Ark. 59

Opinion Delivered: May 1, 2025

PER CURIAM

The final deadline for attorneys to pay the 2025 annual attorney-license fee was April 15, 2025. 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, 2025, 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, 2025, 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, 2025, 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).
