Article 7 - Procedures to Discipline and to Determine Personal Incapacity to Practice Law
§ 73-3-341. Disbarment or suspension in another jurisdiction

Whenever any attorney subject to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the court shall be disbarred or suspended from the practice of law in another jurisdiction, such disbarment or suspension shall be grounds for disciplinary action in this state, and certification of such disbarment or suspension by the appropriate authority of such jurisdiction to the Executive Director of the Mississippi Bar shall be conclusive evidence of his guilt of the offense or unprofessional conduct on which said disbarment or suspension was ordered, and it shall not be necessary to prove the grounds of such offense in the disciplinary proceeding in this state. The sole issue to be determined in the disciplinary proceeding in this state shall be the extent of the final discipline to be imposed on said attorney, which may be less or more severe than the discipline imposed by the other jurisdiction.
