The Tennessee Supreme Court on Friday denied a petition filed by Shelby County lawyer Urura M. Mayers seeking to dissolve a temporary suspension imposed on her in November 2020. The court suspended her license for misappropriating funds and posing a threat of substantial harm to the public. On April 29, a three-member panel of the Board of Professional Responsibility held a hearing on the petition. After consideration, it determined that Mayers failed to establish good cause to dissolve the temporary suspension. The court adopted the board’s finding as its own and directed Mayers to pay $1,338.40 in court costs.
