RE: EDWARD KENDALL WHITE, III, BPR #17689

WILLIAMSON COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On October 14, 2016, Edward Kendall White, III, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee,
received a Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Mr. White is the plaintiff in an interpleader petition filed by Edward Kendall White, IV. The petition
lacks any valid factual or legal basis. Although Mr. White is a party, he has also taken an active role in the
litigation of the interpleader action. Neither Mr. White nor Edward Kendall White, IV have taken appropriate
action to expedite the handling of the petition.
By these acts, Edward Kendall White, III has violated Rules of Professional Conduct 3.1 (meritorious
claims and contentions), and 3.2 (expediting litigation), and is hereby Publicly Censured for these violations.
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
