Examination and provide proof of successful passage prior to
                  reinstatement; (2) complete six hours of additional CLE on the subject of
                  law office management within one year of reinstatement; (3) fully
                  reimburse the state bar for the cost of the reinstatement proceedings and
                  reimburse the client security fund within one year of reinstatement; and
                  (4) obtain a mentor, selected by the state bar, to review his practice and
                  report back to the state bar for one year after Peirce is reinstated.
                              SCR 116(2) requires that an attorney seeking reinstatement
                  must:
                              demonstrate[e] by clear and convincing evidence
                              that he or she has the moral qualifications,
                              competency, and learning in law required for
                              admission to practice law in this state, and that
                              his or her resumption of the practice of lawS will
                              not be detrimental to the integrity and standing of
                              the bar, to the administration of justice, or to the
                              public interest.
                  Additionally, SCR 116(5) provides that for an attorney who has been
                  "continuously suspended for 5 years or more at the time a petition for
                  reinstatement is filed, irrespective of the term of suspension initially
                  imposed, successful completion of the examination for admission to
                  practice shall be a mandatory condition of reinstatement."
                              Having reviewed the record, we conclude that clear and
                  convincing evidence supports the panel's findings and conclusions. We
                  therefore approve the panel's recommendation that the petition be granted
                  subject to the above conditions.' Additionally, we include the condition

                         'The State Bar filed a notice that Peirce took and passed the
                  February 2014 Nevada State Bar Examination, thus, Peirce has satisfied
                  that condition.
