Davidson County lawyer James D. R. Roberts Jr. received a public censure on April 20 for misconduct in court. Roberts appealed the decision, arguing that the trial court had been “evasive and untruthful,” had “conduct[ed] unnecessary hearings and enter[ed] untruthful and harassing orders in order to cover up” its own improper conduct; and made improper findings against him “to deflect attention from its own illegal acts.” The Court of Appeals found that Roberts’ claims were baseless and upheld the censure.
