TENNESSEE ATTORNEY DISBARRED
On December 9, 2002, the Supreme Court of Tennessee entered an Order disbarring
Dwight E. Duncan from the practice of law.
The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a Petition for Imposition of Reciprocal
Discipline based upon the fact that the Nevada Supreme Court disbarred Duncan for
outright abandonment of his clients and his practice.
The Tennessee Supreme Court ordered that Dwight E. Duncan be disbarred from the
practice of law.
Mr. Duncan may, after five (5) years, apply for reinstatement, but he must carry the
burden of proof by clear and convincing evidence that his reinstatement will not be
detrimental to the integrity and standing of the bar, or the administration of justice, or be
subversive to the public interest.
