By Order of Reciprocal Discipline entered by the Supreme Court of Tennessee on August 8, 2024, Jason
Russell Buckley received a one (1) year suspension retroactive to September 7, 2023. Mr. Buckley was
suspended by the Supreme Judicial Court for the State of Maine for one (1) year by Order on Motions for
Sanctions M. Bar R. 21 entered September 7, 2023, for requesting continuing legal education credit for
attending on June 16 and June 17, 2022, live webcast seminars occurring simultaneously in violation of Maine

On April 8, 2024, the Supreme Court entered a Notice of Reciprocal Discipline directing Mr. Buckley to
inform the Court, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Notice, why the discipline imposed by the Supreme
Judicial Court for the State of Maine should not be imposed in Tennessee. On May 6, 2024, Mr. Buckley filed
a timely response with the Court, and the Board filed a reply on June 12, 2024, as ordered. Upon due
consideration of the respective arguments, the Supreme Court entered its Order of Reciprocal Discipline.
Mr. Buckley must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and
30.4, regarding the obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys and the procedure for reinstatement.
