| Topic: | Bar discipline - Miss.R.Disc. 13 |
| Summary of the Facts: | The Mississippi Bar has filed a formal complaint against attorney Elizabeth Aileen Broome, a resident of Florida. On or about May 25, 2006, Broome was suspended for one year by the Supreme Court of Florida from the practice of law in the courts of that state followed by three years of probation. The Mississippi Bar seeks, pursuant to Rule 13 of the Mississippi Rules of Discipline, to have Broome disciplined based on her suspension from the practice of law in the State of Florida. |
| Summary of Opinion Analysis: | The Florida Supreme Court imposed a one-year suspension from the practice of law against Broome to be followed by three years of probation. The Court finds that Broome’s suspension for the period of one year from the practice of law in the State of Mississippi, followed by three years of probation, conditioned upon her reinstatement of privileges by order of this Court pursuant to Rule 12 of the Mississippi Rules of Discipline, is appropriate. |
