The Tennessee Supreme Court yesterday issued an order extending the deadline for comments on a proposal to change the requirements for comity. Comments for all parties, except the Board of Law Examiners, is now Aug. 12. Under a previous order, the board has until Aug. 19 to file its comments. 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 a lawyer maintain a full time law practice or full time law school teaching position. 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.
