CHATTANOOGA LAWYER CENSURED
Howard Brownlow Barnwell, a Chattanooga attorney, received a Public Censure from the
Board of Professional Responsibility on May 16, 2005. Mr. Barnwell voluntarily dismissed a
case for which he was representing a client. Mr. Barnwell failed to re-file the case within the one
year permitted by the savings statute. Mr. Barnwell's conduct violated DR 1-102(A)(1)(6), DR
6-101(A)(2), and DR 7-101(A)(1)(3) of the Code of Professional Responsibility.
A Public Censure is a form of public discipline which declares the conduct of the lawyer
improper but does not limit the lawyer's right to practice.
