Biographical/Historical Note
The Little Rock Law Class was the first program of legal education in Arkansas. It was established in 1868. Arkansas Industrial University, now known as the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, assumed sponsorship of the class in 1892, establishing the Law Department in Little Rock. The Law Department existed until 1915, when a disagreement between the law school and the board of trustees resulted in the university withdrawing its sponsorship. Judge John H. Carmichael reorganized the Law Department into a private bar-sponsored institution known as the Arkansas Law School. Carmichael served as the school's dean for over 50 years. The school had its last graduating class in 1967.
