MISSISSIPPI LAWYER DISBARRED
On December 28, 2011, the Tennessee Supreme Court entered an Order of reciprocal discipline
disbarring Vann F. Leonard from the practice of law in Tennessee.
The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a petition for reciprocal discipline with the Tennessee
Supreme Court after the Supreme Court of Mississippi entered an Order Accepting Irrevocable Resignation
against Mr. Leonard which had the effect of revoking Mr. Leonardâs license to practice law in the State of
Mississippi and forever barring Mr. Leonard from seeking reinstatement to the practice of law in the State of
Mississippi. The Order of the Supreme Court of Mississippi is tantamount to disbarment in the State of
Tennessee.
Mr. Leonard must comply with Sections 18 and 19 of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9 regarding the
obligations and responsibilities of disbarred attorneys. He may apply for reinstatement of his Tennessee law
license after five years and must pay the Boardâs costs and expenses prior to reinstatement.
