RELEASE OF INFORMATION
RE: YARBORO ANN SALLEE, BPR #16884
CONTACT: A. RUSSELL WILLIS
BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

November 19, 2015
KNOX COUNTY LAWYER PLACED ON DISABILITY INACTIVE STATUS
By Order of the Tennessee Supreme Court entered November 18, 2015, the law license of Yarboro Ann
Sallee was transferred to disability inactive status for an indefinite period of time pursuant to Section 27.4 of
Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9. The Court transferred Ms. Sallee to disability inactive status after Ms. Sallee
gave notice to the Board of Professional Responsibility that she suffers from a disability which prevents her
from defending herself against a disciplinary complaint. Pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section
27.4(a), the Supreme Court referred this matter to a hearing panel for the Board to determine Ms. Salleeâs
capacity to continue the practice of law and to respond to or defend against the pending disciplinary complaint.
On July 23, 2015, Ms. Salleeâs license to practice law was suspended by the Supreme Court of
Tennessee for one year after a hearing panel determined Ms. Sallee had violated Rules of Professional Conduct.
The Order transferring Ms. Sallee to disability inactive status does not affect her disciplinary suspension.
Pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 28.1, the Order transferring Ms. Sallee to
disability inactive status is effective upon entry, and Ms. Sallee is prohibited from engaging in the practice law
after November 18, 2015. Ms. Sallee may petition for removal of disability inactive status pursuant to Tenn.
Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 27.7.
