IN THE SUPREME COURT OF MISSISSIPPI
No. 2002-BR-00300-SCT
IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION FOR REINSTATEMENT TO THE PRACTICE OF
LAW OF GERALD R. EMIL
ORDER
¶1. This matter is before the Court on Gerald R. Emil's Petition for Reinstatement or, Alternatively, for
Termination of Suspension. This Court previously ordered that Emil be suspended indefinitely from the
practice of law. Emil v. The Mississippi Bar, 690 So. 2d 301 (Miss. 1997). The Court explicitly made
reinstatement contingent upon proof from the Mississippi Board of Bar Examiners that Emil had successfully
passed all sections of the Mississippi Bar Examination. The Rules of Discipline for the Mississippi Bar
provide that when the petitioner has been suspended from the practice of law, reinstatement is not permitted
except upon a showing that all of the conditions of reinstatement have been met. Miss. R. Disc. 12(b). Emil
has made no attempt to retake the Mississippi Bar Examination. No other circumstances exist which would
make reassessment of the sanctions appropriate. The Court therefore finds that the Petition for
Reinstatement should be denied.
¶2. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Petition of Gerald R. Emil for Reinstatement or, Alternatively,
for Termination of Suspension is denied.
¶3. SO ORDERED, this the 17th day of September, 2002.
