Supreme Court of Arkansas

Chandler v. Martin

May 14, 2014

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Chandler’s petition challenging Foster’s eligibility to run for circuit judge. It held that Foster remained a licensed attorney during periods when his ability to practice law was automatically suspended for nonpayment of annual fees, satisfying the constitutional six-year licensing requirement. The court also held that automatic suspension without notice and an opportunity to be heard violated procedural due process.
