Opinion
MOTION TO AMEND THE ARKANSAS PLAN OF SPECIALIZATION AND MOTION TO ADOPT REGULATIONS.
PER CURIAM.
The Arkansas Board of Legal Specialization has presented to this court a motion to amend the Arkansas Plan of Specialization adopted by our per curiam order dated July 12, 1982, and a motion to adopt proposed regulations to be implemented and enforced by the Board if approved by this court. By our July 12 per curiam order, we conditionally granted the petition of the Arkansas Bar Association's Committee on Specialization and Advertising to adopt such a Plan while recognizing that our responsibility under Amendment 28 to our Constitution required this court's final approval of any rules, regulations, and policies the Board might adopt in implementing the Plan.
Inasmuch as the Board has now presented to us proposed amendments to the Arkansas Plan of Specialization, along with comprehensive regulations cumulative to and explanatory of the Plan, we wish to solicit comments from members of the bench and bar between this date and November 1, 1989, concerning the proposed amendments and regulations.
We hope to receive not only general remarks of approval or disapproval but invite specific suggestions with respect to the Board's proposals and encourage recommendations as to any additional guidelines that might assist the Board in fulfilling its duties.
Copies of the proposed amendments and regulations may be obtained from the Supreme Court Clerk.
NEWBERN, J., not participating.
