Charles M. Conway, Special Justice, concurring. I concur that the petitions for rehearing should be denied. I would not modify the findings of the Trial Court by characterizing the acts of the attorney as resulting from inattention, disregard and neglect. The judgment of disbarment was for a period of three (3) years with readmittance being conditioned upon the attorney’s application for readmittance and a determination at that time of his fitness to practice law. Such judgment requires that should the attorney again desire to practice law that he maintain a competence in the law during his disbarment period to be tested as required of all other applicants. In addition the applicant would have the burden of proving to the satisfaction of the Committee on Admissions that it was reasonable to expect that he would comply with the Conduct of Professional Responsibility adopted by this Court. The conditions of readmission are such as to assure that those who are admitted to practice law are worthy of the privilege.
