The Tennessee Supreme Court today suspended Knox County lawyer James Lester Kennedy from the practice of law for one year. Kennedy served as the executor of an estate that was opened in 1987. In 2009, the beneficiaries discovered that the estate had not been closed, that Kennedy had ignored repeated orders by the Court to appear and settle, and in 2000, the Court had retired the case due to inactivity. Kennedy was  found in contempt and the Court removed him as executor.
