KNOX COUNTY LAWYER PLACED ON DISABILITY INACTIVE STATUS
By Order of the Tennessee Supreme Court entered August 11, 2015, the law license of John Thomas
Jones was transferred to disability inactive status pursuant to Section 27.3 of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9.
Prior to being placed on disability inactive status, Mr. Jonesâ license to practice law had been temporarily
suspended by the Supreme Court on July 24, 2015, after the Court determined that Mr. Jones had
misappropriated funds and posed a threat of substantial harm to the public. The Courtâs August 11, 2015 Order
did not remove the temporary suspension.
Mr. Jones cannot practice law while on disability inactive status. He may return to the practice of law
after reinstatement by the Tennessee Supreme Court upon showing of clear and convincing evidence that the
disability has been removed and he is fit to resume the practice of law.
