ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: For an individual to be eligible for inclusion in the Hall of Fame, the nominee must: 1. Meet one of these two criteria: a. Be a living person at least 50 years old; or b. Be deceased for at least three years. This requirement may be waived by a supermajority of the Selection Committee. 2. Have an articulable connection to the state of Arkansas, including but not limited to: (i) born in Arkansas; (ii) reared in Arkansas; (iii) educated in Arkansas; or (iv) practiced law in Arkansas. 3. Have made an extraordinary contribution to the law, society, the administration of justice or legal education. For a group, organization or event, the nominee must have a close and clearly articulable connection to Arkansas. National groups, organizations or events where Arkansas is just one of many affected areas are not eligible for consideration. For example, the American Bar Association would not be an eligible organization and the signing of the United States Constitution would not be an eligible event. The group, organization or event must have existed for at least 25 years or occurred at least 25 years ago. The group, organization or event must have made an extraordinary contribution to the law, the administration of justice or legal education. No person, group, organization or event may be selected for the Hall of Fame more than once, though a person who is also a member of a group, organization or event may be separately honored.
