IN RE SUSPENSION OF ATTORNEYS WHO FAILED TO PAY 2017 ANNUAL ATTORNEY-LICENSE FEE
The final deadline for attorneys to pay the 2017 annual attorney-license fee was April 17, 2017. Rule VII(C) of the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar imposes an automatic suspension on those attorneys who fail to pay the annual fee by the final deadline following a series of three pre-suspension notices. The attorneys named on the attached list failed to pay the annual license fee by the final deadline of April 17, 2017, despite the repeated notice. Therefore, those attorneys were automatically suspended on April 18, 2017, by operation of Rule VII(C) and shall not practice law in the State of Arkansas until reinstated or except during a stay of the suspension as provided in Rule VII(C)(15).
Generally, the final deadline is April 15 of each year. April 15, 2017, however, was a Saturday, and the clerk's office was closed. Therefore, Rule VII(C)(4) of the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar extended the deadline to the next business day, Monday, April 17, 2017. --------
