The Tennessee Supreme Court today suspended Georgia lawyer James A. Dunlap from the practice of law in Tennessee for one year. The court found that Dunlap failed to provide an administrative law judge with material information regarding related federal claims, misled the judge regarding the status of those claims, attempted to influence the judge by threatening to sue her if she did not grant the remedies he was requesting, impeded in the administrative appeal process by engaging in conduct that was duplicitous and bullying, was unapologetic and saw nothing improper in his conduct. His actions were found to violate Rules of Professional Conduct 3.3, 3.5(a), 8.4(c) and 8.4(d).
