The Tennessee Supreme Court today extended the deadline to file comments on a proposed change to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 8, RPC 1.15 to April 3. The TBA last week asked the court to extend the deadline, which was set to expire today. The court had issued an order on Dec. 3, 2019, asking for comments on proposed changes to what efforts must be made after a lawyer learns of unidentified funds in an IOLTA account. The change is being sought by the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility and the Tennessee Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection.
