Lawyer Act Is Partly Invalid In Arkansas Workmen’s Comp case
Arkansas Attorney General Jack Holt ruled that a provision barring anyone but a licensed lawyer from appearing for a claimant before the Workmen’s Comp Commission is invalid. The ruling centers on Act No. 135 of 1941 and its conflict with the 1939 compensation act and constitutional amendment requiring a two thirds roll-call vote for amendments. The measure, sponsored by Rep E H Patterson, faced opposition from labor groups who worried workers or widows would lose share to lawyers.
