SHELBY COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On February 27, 2015, Gerald Stanley Green, of Memphis, Tennessee, was publicly censured by the
Supreme Court of Tennessee.
The Board of Professional Responsibility filed a Petition for Discipline against Gerald Stanley Green on
June 4, 2014, based upon two related complaints of misconduct arising from Mr. Greenâs representation of a
client during the appeal of a criminal conviction. Mr. Green failed to file a statement of the evidence as
required by Rule 24 of the Rules of Appellate Practice, filed a brief without citations to the record, and failed to
present an oral argument to the Court of Appeals.
A hearing panel for the Board of Professional Responsibility found Mr. Greenâs actions violated Rules
of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence) and 1.3 (diligence).
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
