The Tennessee Supreme Court recently issued an order declining to adopt proposed amendments to Supreme Court Rule 9, section 16, which would have replaced section 16 in its entirety and changed the procedure for complaints against members of the board, district committee members and disciplinary counsel. The court said it received comments on the proposal from the Board of Professional Responsibility and the Knoxville Bar Association. Following the comment period, the court decided to adopt “minor revisions” to the rule instead. See a red line version of the section and the new rule in this order from the court.
