IN RE: ADAM JAMESON BAIR
FLORIDA BAR # 91306

ORDER OF SUSPENSION
On May 11, 2026, the Supreme Court of Florida suspended Adam Jameson Bair from the
practice of law. (See generally Suspension Order [ECF No. 1]). The suspension was based on
Mr. Bair’s conviction on one felony count of sexual battery, for which post-trial litigation is
ongoing. (See generally Pet. for Interim Suspension [ECF No. 4]). On May 14, 2026, the Clerk
of this Court entered an Order to Show Cause [ECF No. 2], directing Mr. Bair to explain why the
Court should not impose reciprocal discipline. (See id. 1). On June 17, 2026, Mr. Bair filed a
Response [ECF No. 3], in which he does not contest the imposition of reciprocal discipline,
emphasizing that he requests his suspension in this District “be interim in nature and coterminous
with the Florida suspension[.]” (Id. ¶ 6 (alteration added; emphasis omitted); see also generally
id.).
Rule 8(d) of the Southern District of Florida Local Rules Governing the Admission,
Practice, Peer Review, and Discipline of Attorneys (“Attorney Rules”) provides that after
considering a response to an Order to Show Cause, “the Court may impose . . . identical discipline
or may impose any other sanction the Court may deem appropriate.” Id. (alteration added).
Under Attorney Rule 8(d) and the Court’s inherent authority to oversee membership in its bar and
safeguard the public interest, see Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 43 (1991) (citation
omitted), it is
ORDERED as follows:

2. Within 14 days of receipt of this Order, Mr. Bair shall notify the Clerk of Court of any

practice before this Court and to immediately revoke his CM/ECF credentials.
