SULLIVAN COUNTY LAWYER SUSPENDED
On August 1, 2016, the Tennessee Supreme Court suspended Wendal Douglas Jackson from the practice
of law until further orders of the Court pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 22.3. Mr. Jackson
was suspended based upon his conviction of a serious crime; i.e., attempted extortion.
On July 28, 2016, the law license of Mr. Jackson was transferred to disability inactive status pursuant to
Section 27.3 of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9. Mr. Jackson cannot practice law while on disability inactive
status. In its August 1, 2016 order, The Supreme Court ordered the Board to institute a formal proceeding to
determine the extent of final discipline to be imposed as a result of Mr. Jacksonâs guilty plea at such time as his
disability inactive status is removed.
Mr. Jackson must comply with Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 28, regarding the obligations
and responsibilities of suspended attorneys.
On June 17, 2016, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Mr. Jackson from the
practice of law upon finding that Mr. Jackson poses a substantial threat of harm to the public, pursuant to
Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 12.3. That suspension remains in effect.
