Davidson County lawyer Luvell Leigh Glanton received a public censure from the Tennessee Supreme Court on April 30. The court found that Glanton violated Rules of Professional Conduct 5.3 and 8.4(d) when he instructed his paralegal to appear in his stead at a case management conference. The paralegal did not disclose that he was not an attorney and was perceived by the Special Master and opposing counsel to be an attorney. The court also found that Glanton failed to supervise his paralegal and allowed the paralegal to hold himself out in an attorney’s capacity. The action was determined to be prejudicial to the administration of justice and required that the case management order later be vacated.
