Supreme Court of Arkansas
Doralee Chandler, Candidate for Circuit Judge, District 20, Division 5, Appellant v. Mark Martin, — Corbin, J…
May 14, 2014433 S.W.3d 884
Summary
Justice Corbin dissented from the conclusion that Foster remained eligible to be a candidate for circuit judge despite failing to timely pay the annual attorney-license fee. He also rejected the majority's unnecessary declaration that Rule VII(C)'s automatic suspension mechanism violated due process, reasoning that Foster lacked standing, had not shown a protected interest in running for office, and had access to post-deprivation review. Justice Hart, concurring in part and dissenting in part, likewise would not reach the constitutional issue and would remand because Foster's challenge was moot.
