Louisiana lawyer James Austin Dukes was permanently disbarred from the practice of law in Tennessee today. The Tennessee Supreme Court took the action based on an order from the Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana permanently disbarring Dukes in that state. The court reports that it gave Dukes the opportunity to explain why reciprocal discipline should not be imposed in Tennessee, but received no response.
