John Patrick Moody v. Arkansas State Board of Law Examiners

Summary

The court affirmed the Board's denial of Moody's admission to the Arkansas bar because the record did not clearly demonstrate sufficient sobriety, mental and emotional stability, and good moral character after his longstanding alcohol abuse and repeated relapses. The court declined to consider Moody's alternative request for deferred or conditional admission because he had not raised or developed that issue before the Board.
