The Tennessee Supreme Court yesterday denied a petition for dissolution of a temporary suspension from Knox County lawyer Elliott James Schuchardt. The court found that Schuchardt had not shown good cause for dissolution of the suspension, which had been imposed on Sept. 21, 2022, after the court found that he posed a threat of substantial harm to the public. In its order dismissing the petition, the court said, “Rather than establishing good cause, the allegations of Mr. Schuchardt’s petition establish that he is continuing to engage in the same conduct that initially resulted” in suspension.
