On Nov. 20, 2025, Georgia lawyer Meredith Gardial filed a petition to reinstate her Tennessee law license. The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a response in opposition to the petition stating that she has outstanding requirements with the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility and the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal Education. On Dec. 15, 2025, the Tennessee Supreme Court filed an order directing Gardial to satisfy these outstanding obligations by Jan. 27 or face dismissal of her petition. The court reported on Jan. 30 that Gardial had not responded to its request and thus dismissed the petition.
