The Arkansas Bar Association is the voluntary (non-mandatory) bar association of the U.S. state of Arkansas.
History[edit]
As early as 1837, there were efforts to organize association of lawyers in Arkansas, but it was not until 1898 that the Arkansas State Bar was organized.[2] Its first president was Uriah Milton Rose, whose name would come to grace the state's oldest and most prestigious legal enterprise, Rose Law Firm.
Structure[edit]
The Arkansas Bar Association publishes the quarterly Arkansas Lawyer Magazine,[3] the weekly "E-bulletins,"[4] and other publications.
The Arkansas Bar Association does not control lawyer licensing; that is a function of the Arkansas Board of Law Examiners.[5] It does not enforce the requirement that Arkansas lawyers must complete 12 credits of Continuing Legal Education each year.;[6] that is the function of the Arkansas Continuing Legal Education Board [7]
