Official opinion requests must be in writing and should be addressed
to:
The Honorable Dustin McDaniel, Attorney General
Office of the Attorney General
ATTN: Opinions Department
323 Center Street, Suite 1100
Little Rock, AR 72201
The request must contain a complete statement of the problem,
together with a concise question of law. The request should pertain
to questions of statewide interest or application where there is
a bona fide need to establish official legal policy for the State
of Arkansas.
All requests from state boards, commissions, departments, and
agencies that have legal counsel (other than counsel from the Attorney
General’s office) must provide the results of counsel’s
research of the question submitted.
Requests will be answered in the order of receipt, giving due
flexibility for contingencies such as the need to await further
information. The Attorney General attempts to answer all opinion
requests within thirty days of receipt, workload permitting, and
unless an earlier statutory deadline applies. Opinion requests
will be expedited only upon the recommendation of the Attorney
General, based upon his determination that an actual deadline exists
or that expediting the request would otherwise be in the public
interest. |
