ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT
This matter is before the Court, pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 30.4(c), upon a
Petition for Reinstatement filed October 2, 2019, by the Petitioner, Clay M. McCormack.
Mr. McCormack was suspended from the practice of law by Order of this Court on
October 5, 2018, for a period of five (5) years with one (1) year served as an active
suspension and the remaining four (4) years served on probation. A Notice of Submission
was filed by the Chief Disciplinary Counsel indicating the petition is satisfactory to the
Board and Mr. McCormack has satisfied all conditions set forth in the Order imposing
discipline and is eligible for reinstatement.
From all of which the Court grants the Petition for Reinstatement.
IT IS, THEREFORE, CONSIDERED, ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND
DECREED BY THE COURT:
1. The Petitioner, Clay M. McCormack, is hereby reinstated to the active
practice of law in the State of Tennessee pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 30.4(c) and
subject to certain conditions set forth in the Order of Enforcement (M2017-02457-SC-
BAR-BP) entered October 5, 2018.
2. Mr. McCormack shall pay to the Clerk of this Court the costs incurred
herein within ninety (90) days of the entry of this Order, for which execution may issue if
necessary.
3. Mr. McCormack, at his cost, shall engage the services of a Practice Monitor
who shall be selected and approved in accordance with Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 12.9(c)
(2014). The Practice Monitor shall meet with Mr. McCormack quarterly for a period of
two years to supervise Mr. McCormackâs compliance with trust account rules and
accounting procedures.
4. Mr. McCormack shall not, during the period of probation, incur any new
complaints of misconduct that relate to conduct occurring during the period of probation
and result in a recommendation by the Board that discipline be imposed. In the event that
Mr. McCormack violates or otherwise fails to meet any condition of probation,
Disciplinary Counsel, pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 14.2 (2014), shall be authorized
to file a petition to revoke Mr. McCormackâs probation, and upon a finding that
revocation is warranted, Mr. McCormack shall serve the previously deferred period of
suspension.
5. The Board of Professional Responsibility shall cause notice of this
reinstatement to be published as required by Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 28.11.
