The Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) helps people with questions or problems with their Tennessee lawyer. Many problems may be resolved by providing information, contacting the lawyer, or informally mediating the dispute.

When serious unethical conduct may be involved, complaints will be referred to Disciplinary Counsel for consideration as to attorney discipline.

Lawyers licensed in other jurisdictions, but not licensed in Tennessee are ordinarily not permitted to practice in Tennessee courts without being admitted pro hac vice. In June, 2004, the Tennessee Supreme Court amended its Rule on pro hac vice admission to permit a lawyer not licensed to practice law in Tennessee, who is licensed in another United States jurisdiction, and who resides outside Tennessee to appear pro hac vice, file pleadings, motions, briefs and other papers and to fully participate in a particular proceeding before a trial or appellate court of Tennessee if the lawyer complied with certain conditions.
