Delivered March 20, 1989
By per curiam order of July 12, 1982, we adopted the "Arkansas Plan of Specialization." In Re Amendments to the Code of Professional Responsibility and Canons of Judicial Ethics, 276 Ark. 600, 637 S.W.2d 589 (1982). The plan, which was incorporated by reference in our opinion, specifies that any fees to be imposed upon those who specialize pursuant to the plan are to be approved by this court.
A committee of the Board of Specialization seeking approval of a specialty in family law has, through its chairman, moved the approval of application, examination, and annual certification fees for those seeking to establish and maintain certification as family law specialists in the amounts of $50.00 (application), $250.00 (examination), and $50.00 (annual certification).
The motion is granted.
