The Tennessee Supreme Court on Jan. 15 rejected the Board of Professional Responsibility’s recommendation to impose a 10-year suspension on Hamilton County lawyer Arthur C. Grisham Jr. Instead, the court proposed to increase the punishment to permanent disbarment. Under the rules, the board now has 30 days to file the record of the disciplinary hearing, after which Grisham will have 20 days to file his brief and then the board will have 20 days after that to respond. Grisham already is serving a five-year suspension, which was imposed on May 13, 2025.
