Text: Petitioner has been disbarred from the practice of law for more than 20 years. As pointed out by the Court of Appeals in Roundtree, supra, at 1218, n. 11, [w]hat must be proven in any given case will depend, in part, on the length of the suspension or disbarment ... The longer the suspension, the stronger the showing that must be made of the attorney's present competence to practice law. We agree with the Committee's finding that Petitioner's testimony regarding attendance at seminars and various CLE courses was insufficient proof that Petitioner is qualified to resume the practice law, particularly when considered in the context of the other Roundtree factors. (Comm. Rep. at 19).
