Arkansas Government Attorneys

Arkansas does not provide special admission rules for government attorneys licensed in other jurisdictions. However, Comment 16 to Rule 5.5 of the Arkansas Multijurisdictional Practice Rules (MJP) provides for an interpretation that would allow government attorneys to practice without being engaged in the unauthorized practice of law.

Please see the Arkansas Bar Reciprocity page to view the requirements for Admission on Motion; the Arkansas Pro Hac Vice page to view the requirements for admission to a particular proceeding; and the Arkansas Multijurisdictional Practice Rules (MJP) for legal practices that are excluded from the unauthorized practice of law.
