The Tennessee Supreme Court has issued an order soliciting comments on proposed changes to its Rule 13. The proposed revisions do not include any adjustments to the compensation rates and/or caps for appointed attorneys representing the indigent. But they do address the financial obligations of a child's parents, legal custodians or guardians when a guardian ad litem is appointed. The changes also address the crimes that affect the maximum compensation allowed for appointed criminal cases. Comments should be submitted by May 6 and should reference docket number ADM2024-00227.
