§ 73-3-335. Modification or termination of suspension

Any time after the entry of a final judgment of suspension and after the expiration of at least one-fourth ( 1/4) of the period of the ordered suspension, the convicted attorney may file a petition in the court to modify or terminate said suspension; provided, however, any petition to modify or terminate subsequent to the initial petition shall not be filed within six (6) months from the date of the adverse determination of any prior petition. A filing fee of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($ 250.00) to defray the expense of investigating the matter shall be paid the Mississippi Bar upon the filing of each petition to modify or terminate. A copy of said petition shall be served upon the Mississippi Bar, and it shall be under a duty to investigate the matter, respond to the petition and appear at the hearing. Modification or termination of suspension shall be granted only upon a showing of good cause and exceptional circumstances.

The procedure for reinstating an attorney to practice law after suspension for being out of compliance with an order of support, as defined in Section 93-11-153, and the payment of any fees for reinstating an attorney to practice law after suspension for being out of compliance, shall be governed by Section 93-11-157 or 93-11-163, as the case may be.
