The Tennessee Supreme Court recently granted a request from Knox County lawyer Mark Steven Graham for a hearing to reconsider a temporary suspension imposed on May 20 for failure to comply with a Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program (TLAP) monitoring agreement. The court had rejected a similar request in May, but said Graham had since “alleged sufficient facts to establish good cause” for a hearing. The court cited his willingness to execute and comply with a monitoring agreement. It directed the Board of Professional Responsibility to hold a hearing and its recommendation with the “utmost speed consistent with due process.”
