SUMNER COUNTY LAWYER REINSTATED
On July 12, 2017, the Supreme Court of Tennessee reinstated Jocelyn D. Mims to the practice of law.
Ms. Mims had been disbarred from the practice of law by the Supreme Court of Tennessee on August 18, 2009,
based upon her guilty plea to a serious crime.
On May 12, 2016, Ms. Mims filed a Petition for Reinstatement to the practice of law pursuant to
Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 30.4(c), and a hearing was held before a Hearing Panel on April 17,
2017. The Hearing Panel found that Ms. Mims met her burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence
that she has the moral qualifications, competency and learning in the law required for admission to practice law
in Tennessee, and that the resumption of the practice of law will not be detrimental to the integrity and standing
of the bar or the administration of justice, or subversive to the public interest. Based upon the Hearing Panelâs
recommendation, the Supreme Court reinstated Ms. Mimsâ license to practice law.
