The Tennessee Supreme Court censured Michigan attorney Alexander Robert Starr on Jan. 14. The court reports that Starr was authorized to practice in Tennessee while his application for comity admission was pending. Starr did not file motions for pro hac vice admission in at least six criminal cases in Henderson County over the course of five months as required under Rule 7. The court found that these actions violated Rule of Professional Conduct 5.5.
