Opinion delivered September 18, 1997
Mr. Crossley successfully completed the February 1997 Arkansas Bar Examination. Pursuant to Rule XIII of the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar, his file was referred to James Van Dover, who was then Chairman of the State Board of Law Examiners. On August 23, 1997, Mr. Jim Ross succeeded Mr. Van Dover as Chairman of the state Board of Law Examiners. Mr. Ross has disqualified from participation in this matter.
Therefore, Mr. Van Dover should be designated as Chairman of the Arkansas State Board of Law Examiners solely for the purpose of making the initial determination as to Mr. Crossley's eligibility for admission as required by Rule XIII.
