LOUISIANA LAWYER DISBARRED
On April 14, 2010, the Supreme Court of Tennessee disbarred Wade R. Baggette of Monroe, Louisiana,
pursuant to Section 17 of Supreme Court Rule 9. The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a Petition for
Reciprocal Discipline after the Supreme Court of Louisiana disbarred Baggette on October 20, 2009, for
violating Rule 1.8(a), Conflict of Interest: Prohibited Transactions.
On February 2, 2010, the Supreme Court of Tennessee entered a Notice for Baggett to show cause as to
why the reciprocal discipline of disbarment should not be imposed in Tennessee. Baggette filed an Objection to
the imposition of reciprocal discipline on March 11, 2010. After consideration of the entire record, the Supreme
Court of Tennessee imposed reciprocal discipline, disbarring Baggette from the practice of law in Tennessee
under the same conditions imposed by the Supreme Court of Louisiana.
The Supreme Court of Tennessee further ordered Baggette to reimburse the Board of Professional
Responsibility in the amount of $615.00 for the costs and expenses of the proceeding; and, in addition, to pay to
the Clerk of the Supreme Court the costs incurred therein.
