Hillary Clinton's Arkansas law license has been reinstated after 17 years of suspension. No word as yet on the significance of that.
A recent routine notice of reinstatements and suspensions by the Arkansas Continuing Legal Education Board said Clinton was one of several lawyers reinstated by the board at a meeting March 4 after payment of a reinstatement fee. Another familiar name on the list was that of Rodney Slater, Transportation secretary during the Clinton administration. He was reinstated March 5.
Clinton's license was suspended in March 2002 for failure to complete continuing education requirements. Having been admitted to the bar more than 40 years ago (she was admitted to the Arkansas bar in October 1973) and also being older than 70, she's no longer required under Arkansas rules to meet CLE requirements.
Clinton was a partner in the Rose Law Firm when Bill Clinton ran for president. She's stayed busy since, but not as a practicing lawyer. Her last appearance of record in an Arkansas court was in May 1992, a civil case before the Arkansas Court of Appeals.
Bill Clinton's law license was suspended for five years in 2001 as an agreed settlement of disciplinary action over his misleading testimony about Monica Lewinsky in depositions taken in a lawsuit against him by Paula Jones. He has not sought reinstatement.
I've directed a question about the reinstatement to a Clinton spokesman, but have received no response. She's been quoted recently as saying she has no plans to run for president again in 2020.

Gee, now why would that happen...
Good, I encourage her to go practice law in Arkansas, and stay there.
So she can defend more child rapists
Scheming to cash in and influence-peddle (again) with some sort of law-firm sinecure?
Not uncommon.
She may be now eligible. It costs money to activate.
That still is going to be a problem for her. She still probably recoils from the Ethics CLEs with the same revulsion and horror with which a vampire recoils from a cross.
Well, she never could pass the DC Bar exam, so I guess she paid the necessary Arkansas fees so her bio could say she’s an attorney.
Yay! Now she can represent Arkansas meth manufacturing drug kingpins!
Better Call Hillary!
She can stumble around in her office out of the public eye.
Misleading testimony. Bullsh!t, he lied under oath, Monica was paid to lie, and other witnesses were threatened and intimidated.
Too bad they don’t have a mandatory medical exam like a trucker has to get... God Forbid you should ever crashed... Because who knows HRC could crash in the courtroom mangle up a couple of bystanders or maybe take out a jurist... with all that Hardware she’s carting around there is no telling what could happen! But I will say this or I have to ask what type of lawyer was HRC when she was practicing? I got a feeling she was a an admin type of lawyer, paperwork etc.. don’t think she did any courtroom type of work just documentation and administration. I think. But I’m not sure.
And right now I’m eating dinner (lunch) and I’m too lazy to go look it up.
Maybe she wants to serve as her own defense council.
I guess she figures that she may as well go back to ambulance chasing since she rides around in them all the time!
I think she wants to take RBG s Supreme Court seat and is expecting a dem to beat Trump in 2020
She gets it back just in time for her to lose it again when she is finally held accountable for all the crimes she has committed. Her day is coming.
Not that I ever want to see a thing like that come to be, but I can’t help but imagine HRC would be even sicker and more decrepit on the Bench than RGB.
Nobody appoints 70 year olds to the Supreme Court. Not ever.
