Court Issues 2nd Proposal for Changes to Disciplinary Rules

The Tennessee Supreme Court yesterday issued an order seeking comments on proposed changes to Rule 9 amendments that it originally proposed on Aug. 8, 2012. The court reports that the new changes are based on comments, including extensive comments by the TBA, it received after proposing the 2012 amendments. Yesterday's order sets June 14 as the deadline for new comments and includes a redline version of the amendment showing changes the court has made to the 2012 version. The TBA Ethics and Professional Responsibility Committee will review and make recommendations on the latest revisions.
