Cite as 2026 Ark. 70 SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS IN RE SUSPENSION OF Opinion Delivered April 16, 2026 ATTORNEYS WHO FAILED TO PAY 2026 ANNUAL ATTORNEY-LICENSE FEE

PER CURIAM

The final deadline for attorneys to pay the 2026 annual attorney-license fee was April

15, 2026. 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, 2026, 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, 2026, 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, 2026, 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). Category 1 Suspended- License Status Nonpayment of License Fee and Penalties
