On July 22, the Tennessee Supreme Court lifted a temporary suspension it had imposed on Cumberland County lawyer Melanie Beth Shada on April 25, 2024. The court noted that Shada’s acceptance of a public censure on Oct. 24, 2024, resolved the disciplinary matter. It did not reinstate her license, though, since she remains administratively suspended for failure to pay annual registration fees.
