The Tennessee Supreme Court issued an order Tuesday requesting comments on a proposal to change the requirements for comity. The proposal, submitted by The Network of Enlightened Women, would amend Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 7, Section 5.01(c) to remove the requirement that the lawyer maintain a full time law practice or full time law school teaching position. Comments should be submitted by July 25. Comments should reference the docket number and be e-mailed or mailed to: James M. Hivner, Clerk, Tennessee Appellate Courts, 100 Supreme Court Building, 401 7th Ave. North, Nashville, TN 37219-1407.
