IN RE STEVEN R. JACKSON, ARKANSAS BAR NO. 97142 PETITIONER
PETITION FOR VOLUNTARY
SURRENDER OF LAW LICENSE
GRANTED.
PER CURIAM
On recommendation of the Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct, we hereby accept the voluntary surrender, in lieu of probable disbarment proceedings, of the license of Steven R. Jackson of Lowell in Benton County, Arkansas, to practice law in the State of Arkansas. Mr. Jackson pleaded guilty to a felony offense relating to forgery of a court order on November 16, 2012, in Washington County Circuit Court. In his petition to voluntarily surrender his law license, filed with this court on December 20, 2012, Mr. Jackson acknowledged the felony conviction and stated that he wished to avoid the expense, stress, and publicity of disbarment proceedings. The name of Steven R. Jackson shall be removed from the registry of licensed attorneys, and he is barred and enjoined from engaging in the practice of law in the State of Arkansas.
It is so ordered.
