In Re: Reinstatement of Stanley Wade

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

IN THE MATTER OF No. 72242 REINSTATEMENT OF STANLEY E. WADE, JR., BAR NO. 8302. FILED JUL 2 5 2017

ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT This is an automatic review of a Southern Nevada Disciplinary Board hearing panel's recommendation that suspended attorney Stanley E. Wade, Jr.'s petition for reinstatement be granted. This court previously suspended Wade for one year. In re Discipline of Wade, Docket No. 65393 (Order Approving Conditional Guilty Plea Agreement, July 7, 2014). In that order, we required that before seeking reinstatement, Wade had to pay the costs of that disciplinary proceeding and restitution to five clients. The hearing panel found that Wade has made those payments and has otherwise met his burden for reinstatement under SCR 116(2). Thus, the panel recommended that Wade be reinstated to the practice of law in Nevada Based on our de novo review, we agree with the panel's conclusion that Wade has satisfied his burden in seeking reinstatement by clear and convincing evidence. See SCR 116(2) (requiring an attorney to demonstrate 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 the attorney's "resumption of the practice of law will not be detrimental to the integrity
