Common questions
How do I know a Arkansas lawyer is really licensed?
Match the name to an active record on the Supreme Court of Arkansas with a status of eligible to practice. A lawyer who cannot be found on the board's roll is not licensed in Arkansas, whatever a website says.
What does "not eligible" mean if the license still exists?
The lawyer is on the roll but barred from practicing today, most often for unpaid dues or a lapsed requirement. It is not the same as discipline, and it is usually temporary.
Can I see if a lawyer has been disciplined?
Public. The Supreme Court of Arkansas Office of Professional Conduct handles and posts attorney discipline. Where an order exists, the board links to it from the record.
