James Arthur Graham Jr., an attorney licensed to practice law in Louisiana but not in Tennessee, received a public censure on Oct. 5 from the Tennessee Supreme Court. Graham filed an application for comity admission in Tennessee and was authorized to practice law “pending admission” in Tennessee under Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 7, §10.07. Graham later withdrew his application for comity admission and was informed that his ability to practice “pending admission” had been revoked. Graham stated on his website for approximately 60 days after that point that he was licensed in Tennessee, which was a false statement and resulted in potential harm to the public.
