Nathaniel Barker Hughes, III, a Memphis lawyer, has been disbarred from the practice of law in this state by
Order of the Supreme Court entered November 21, 2001. The disbarment order stipulated that Hughes consented
to disbarment because he could not successfully defend himself on the charges alleged against him. The order
conceded that Hughes violated DR 1-102(A)(1)(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6) and DR 9-102(A)(B), of the Code of
Professional Responsibility (misappropriation of Trust funds).
He disbarment further stipulated that Hughes shall reimburse the Lawyers Fund for Client Protection for any
monies it may pay out on his behalf, and that Hughes shall make restitution to any clients who have valid claim or
judgment against him as a result of his misconduct.
Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9 provides that an attorney disbarred may not apply for reinstatement until
the expiration of at least five years from the effective date of the disbarment. The disbarment order shall remain in
effect until an order of reinstatement is issued by the Supreme Court of Tennessee, upon showing by clear and
convincing evidence that his reinstatement to the practice of law would be in no way detrimental to the public interest.
