Opinion
Delivered May 4, 1992
On December 18, 1978, the Court by Per Curiam Order established the Committee on the Unauthorized Practice of Law. Rule IV of the Per Curiam instructed the Committee to adopt rules of procedure and to file those rules with the Clerk of the Arkansas Supreme Court. The Committee did so on August 21, 1979.
The rules remained the same until recently when the Committee sought the Court's permission to amend them. The Court approved and adopted the rules of procedure, as amended, by Per Curiam on April 13, 1992.
The Court thanks the Committee for seeking its sanctioning of the rules and finds that hereafter the Committee on the Unauthorized Practice of Law shall seek the Court's approval to adopt new rules or to modify existing rules.
Therefore, Rule IV of the Per Curiam which established the Committee on the Unauthorized Practice of Law is amended as follows:
The Committee shall adopt rules of procedure for the handling of inquiries and complaints, and a copy of said rules of procedure shall be filed with the Clerk of the Arkansas Supreme Court, upon approval by the Court, and shall be subject to inspection and made available upon request of any interested person.
