It is further ordered that respondent attend and successfully complete the Louisiana State Bar Association’s Ethics School within one year of the finality of this court’s judgment.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all costs and expenses in the matter are assessed against respondent in accordance with Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 10.1, with legal interest to commence thirty days from the date of finality of this court’s judgment until paid.
