STATE OF MINNESOTA September 3, 2025 IN SUPREME COURT

A24-1701

In re Petition for Disciplinary Action against Kamille R. Dean, a Minnesota Attorney, Registration No. 0344394.

ORDER

In our February 11, 2025 order, we suspended respondent Kamille R. Dean from

the practice of law for a minimum of 60 days, effective 14 days from the date of the order.

In that order, we stated that by February 11, 2026, respondent must file with the Clerk of

the Appellate Courts and serve upon the Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional

Responsibility proof of successful completion of the written examination required for

admission to the practice of law by the Minnesota State Board of Law Examiners on the

subject of professional responsibility—the Multistate Professional Responsibility

Examination (MPRE). See Rule 4.A.(5), Rules for Admission to the Bar.

Respondent has filed an affidavit seeking reinstatement in which she states that she

has complied with the terms of our order regarding reinstatement. In her affidavit,

respondent also states that she took and passed the MPRE.

The Director does not oppose respondent’s request to be reinstated. The Director

notes, however, that respondent has not filed proof that she successfully completed the

MPRE.

1 We agree that respondent should be conditionally reinstated to the practice of law,

but we also agree that respondent has not complied with the requirement to file proof of

her successful completion of the MPRE. Filing a copy of the notice respondent received

from the National Conference of Bar Examiners stating the date respondent took the MPRE

and the score she received would satisfy this requirement.

Based upon all the files, records, and proceedings herein,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1. Respondent Kamille R. Dean is conditionally reinstated to the practice of law

in the State of Minnesota subject to her successful completion of the written examination

required for admission to the practice of law by the Minnesota State Board of Law

Examiners on the subject of professional responsibility.

2. Respondent is placed on probation for a period of 1 year, subject to the

following terms and conditions:

a. Respondent must cooperate fully with the Director’s Office in its efforts to monitor compliance with this probation. Respondent must promptly respond to the Director’s correspondence by its due date. Respondent must provide to the Director a current mailing address and must immediately notify the Director of any change of address. Respondent must cooperate with the Director’s investigation of any allegations of unprofessional conduct that may come to the Director’s attention. Upon the Director’s request, respondent must provide authorization for release of information and documentation to verify compliance with the terms of this probation.

b. Respondent must abide by the Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct.

3. By February 11, 2026, respondent must file with the Clerk of the Appellate

Courts and serve upon the Director proof of respondent’s successful completion of the

2 written examination required for admission to the practice of law by the Minnesota State

Board of Law Examiners on the subject of professional responsibility. Failure to do so will

result in automatic suspension, pending proof of successful completion of the examination,

under Rule 18(e)(3), Rules on Lawyers Professional Responsibility.
