On Thursday, the Elizabethton City Council will consider appointing an acting municipal judge while the city’s current judge remains unable to practice law, WJHL News reports. Municipal Judge Jason Holly’s law license was suspended in October after he reportedly failed to respond to a misconduct complaint filed with the Board of Professional Responsibility. That suspension followed a prior incident earlier this year when he was unable to sit on the bench due to failure to submit his required continuing legal education hours. Holly won reelection in November, despite not being able to practice law at the time voters went to the polls, according to the TV station.
