| Topic: | Bar reinstatement |
| Summary of the Facts: | B. Calvin Cosnahan sent a letter to the Mississippi Bar stating that it was to be considered Cosnahan’s “formal resignation.” Cosnahan has not paid his Mississippi Bar dues since 1999 nor has he attended any continuing legal education courses since 1999. He has now filed a petition for reinstatement to the practice of law. |
| Summary of Opinion Analysis: | Cosnahan’s license to practice law should be reinstated. However, as a condition of his reinstatement, Cosnahan must first take and achieve a passing grade on the Mississippi Bar Examination, including the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination. |
