The Mississippi Bar v. Eric John Hessler

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court imposed a deferred one‑year‑and‑one‑day suspension on attorney Eric John Hessler, retroactive to the date of his Louisiana discipline, and denied the Mississippi Bar’s request for an immediate suspension under Rule 13(a). The Court applied its nine‑factor reciprocity test, found no extraordinary circumstances, and concluded that Hessler’s failure to report was inadvertent and did not warrant interim suspension.
