MAURY COUNTY LAWYER REINSTATED
On January 25, 2019, the Supreme Court of Tennessee reinstated William Clark Barnes, Jr., to the
practice of law effective immediately. Mr. Barnes had been suspended by the Supreme Court of Tennessee for
three years on March 31, 2015, with six months active suspension and the remainder on probation with
conditions. Mr. Barnes filed a Petition for Reinstatement to the practice of law pursuant to Tennessee Supreme
Court Rule 9, Section 30.4.
A Hearing Panel found that Mr. Barnes complied with the terms and conditions of his suspension, and
further found that he had demonstrated the moral qualifications, competency and learning in the law required
for the practice of law, and that his resumption of the practice of law will not be detrimental to the integrity or
standing of the bar or administration of justice, or subversive to the public interest. Based upon the Hearing
Panelâs recommendation, the Supreme Court reinstated Mr. Barnesâs license to practice law. As conditions of
his reinstatement, Mr. Barnes must have a practice monitor for one year, and enter into a new, two-year
Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program monitoring agreement. Mr. Barnes must pay the costs of the
reinstatement proceeding.
