John Skylar "sky" Tapp v. Stark Ligon, as Executive Director of the Arkansas Supreme Court Committee — Hart, J…

Summary

Justice Hart, dissenting, agreed that an interim suspension was warranted in the client-funds matter because the material facts were undisputed and Arkansas precedent treated such misconduct severely. She would not sustain the suspension in the bankruptcy matter because disputed facts required an evidentiary hearing and the alleged harm did not establish a sufficient public-protection basis. She also rejected the multi-factor standard adopted by the majority as inconsistent with Arkansas due-process precedent and unworkable in application. Justice Baker joined the dissent.
