The Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility's Attorney Portal provides attorneys licensed in the state of Tennessee instant access to their registration information. Attorneys can login and review their information, update the Board with new information, pay their annual registration fees, and complete required forms such as the IOLTA information online.

This tutorial provides a step by step description of how attorneys may use the portal for their annual registration. Additionally, answers to some frequently asked questions are available in the Portal FAQ page. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Portal Support.

Step 1: Confirm your contact information
Update your contact information with the Board of Professional Responsibility (BPR) on the "Lawyer Information Screen," including your Office address and phone number(s), your Home address and phone number(s), email address (only one please) and mailing address preference (i.e. which address you would like BPR mail sent to). PLEASE NOTE: Fields in light gray are read-only and can only be modified by the BPR.

Step 2: Pay your annual BPR registration fee
To pay your annual BPR registration fee, click on the "Invoices" tab in the menu on the left side of the Information screen. Use your mouse to highlight the "2010 Registration Fee" line item and then click the "Pay Invoice" tab just above it to open the Billing Screen.

Select the invoice to pay clicking on the dropdown list on the Billing Screen. Complete the rest of the required fields and click the "Submit Payment" button at the bottom of the form. (PLEASE NOTE: Visa and MasterCard credit or check cards only. Debits cards that require a PIN cannot be used with this online program.)

Step 3: Complete the IOLTA form
To complete the mandatory IOLTA Form, click on the "IOLTA Form" tab in the menu on the left side of the Information screen and then click on the “New IOLTA Form” tab to open a new form.

Read the instructions at the top of the form; complete the form as required and click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the screen. PLEASE NOTE: Once you click the "Submit" button, the form becomes read-only from that point forward. If you have questions regarding IOLTA compliance, please contact the Tennessee Bar Foundation at (615) 242-1531 or at www.tnbarfoundation.org.
