The Board of Tennessee Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection (TLFCP) filed a petition with the state Supreme Court today, requesting the court amend Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9 to increase attorney registration fees from $170 to $185 and in turn increase the allotment of the fee that goes to TLFCP to $25 per attorney, improving TLFCP’s ability to reimburse claimants for losses caused by dishonest attorneys. Additionally the TLFCP is asking the court to amend Rule 25 to raise the attorney cap from $250,000 to $400,000 upon recommendation of the board and with approval of the court.
