President, Friday, Eldredge & Clark, PLLC

“Bar membership matters to me because it represents a shared commitment to serving the people of Arkansas and strengthening our legal community. As lawyers, we’re at our best when we learn from one another, uphold high standards, and work together to improve access to justice. The Arkansas Bar Association creates those connections—it brings lawyers from every corner of the state together to collaborate, support one another, and elevate the profession. Being a member is about investing in a community of professionals who are dedicated to fairness, integrity, and service for all Arkansans. We truly are better together.”

“First, the referrals, networking, and just bouncing ideas off of colleagues makes us all better lawyers.  Second, advocating for our courts and communities about the importance of the rule of law with the unified voice of the Arkansas Bar Association is important and impactful.”

“Arkansas Bar membership matters to me because it keeps me connected to the people and the profession I care about.  It gives me the chance to learn from those who’ve practiced longer than I have, and to share what I know with newer members just starting out.  Being a part of the bar helps me grow, give back, and stay rooted in the work we all do for Arkansans.”

“I like being connected to lawyers across the state in ways other than opposing them in litigation. It’s valuable to know colleagues I can call on when I have an issue in their area—sometimes even for minor traffic offenses (allegedly) involving clients or family members. And the Bar is the voice for lawyers in Arkansas. If we don’t speak for ourselves, who will?”
