By Order of the Supreme Court of Tennessee filed November 27, 2007, Shannon Leigh Clark, was
suspended from the practice of law for five years effective September 17, 2004. Ms. Clark had previously been
summarily suspended from the practice of law by Order of the Supreme Court entered September 17, 2004,
pursuant to Section 14 of Rule 9 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Tennessee, pending further orders of the
Court. Ms. Clarkâs suspension resulted from her plea of guilty in the United Stated District Court for the
Eastern District of Tennessee at Chattanooga on September 2, 2004, to one count of bankruptcy fraud, 18
U.S.C. § 157. The Court ordered that a formal disciplinary proceeding be instituted in which the sole issue to
be determined will be the extent of final discipline. A Petition for Final Discipline was filed in the disciplinary
proceeding. Mrs. Clark entered a Conditional Plea of Guilty in the disciplinary proceeding for a stated form of
discipline. Mrs. Clark can only be reinstated to the practice of law by order of the Supreme Court, after filing a
petition for reinstatement and proving the requirements of Section 19 of the Supreme Court Rule 9.
