KNOX COUNTY LAWYER REINSTATED
On July 27, 2015, the Supreme Court of Tennessee reinstated William S. Lockett to the practice of law
effective immediately. Mr. Lockett had been suspended by the Supreme Court of Tennessee on July 3, 2012,
for a period of four (4) years, retroactive to April 13, 2010. Mr. Lockett filed a Petition for Reinstatement to the
practice of law pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 30.4(d) (2014).
A Hearing Panel found that Mr. Lockett complied with the terms and conditions of his suspension, and
further found that he had demonstrated the moral qualifications, competency and learning in the law required
for the practice of law, and that his resumption of the practice of law will not be detrimental to the integrity or
standing of the bar or administration of justice, or subversive to the public interest. Based upon the Hearing
Panelâs recommendation, the Supreme Court reinstated Mr. Lockettâs license to practice law.
Mr. Lockett must pay the costs of the reinstatement proceeding.
