The Tennessee Supreme Court announced today it has received information about disciplinary action taken against lawyer James Austin Dukes in Louisiana. The court directed Dukes to inform it within 30 days why reciprocal discipline of permanent disbarment should not be imposed in Tennessee. If Dukes does not respond, Supreme Court rules allow the court to impose discipline with the same terms and conditions as those imposed by the Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana.
