In Re: William M. Magee

Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana held that William M. Magee’s post‑suspension communications constituted the unauthorized practice of law and imposed a public reprimand, lifting the stay on his reinstatement application. The Court reasoned that the conduct violated Rules 5.5(a), 5.5(e)(3)(v) and 8.4(a) and that, given the aggravating and mitigating factors, a public reprimand was the appropriate sanction.
