practice would not be a detriment to the integrity and standing of the Bar
or the administration of the Bar." See SCR 116(2).
The panel recommended that Tanner be reinstated, and
pursuant to this court's July 3, 2014, order, that Tanner be subject to the
following conditions upon reinstatement: (1) complete 10 hours of
Continuing Legal Education credits in trust accounting, said credits being
in addition to the 12 credits required by the CLE board; (2) take and pass
the MPRE; (3) maintain a State-Bar-approved mentor for two years, with
regularly scheduled meetings and with the mentor providing quarterly
reports to the State Bar documenting Tanner's practice and any issues of
concern; (4) be employed by another attorney for one year after
reinstatement; (5) should Tanner be a solo practitioner following one year
of employment by a licensed attorney, hire an outside accounting
professional to maintain and reconcile all of his professional bank accounts
for one year; and (6) maintain a co-signatory on his trust account for two
years, with quarterly audits of his trust account provided timely to the
State Bar. Additionally, Tanner shall pay the costs of the reinstatement
proceeding within 30 days of an order from this court directing him to do
so.
SCR 116(2) requires that an attorney seeking reinstatement
demonstrate "by clear and convincing evidence that he or she has the
moral qualifications, competency, and learning in law required for
admission to practice law in this state," and that the attorney's
"resumption of the practice of law will not be detrimental to the integrity
and standing of the bar, to the administration of justice, or to the public
interest."
