CHEATHAM COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On November 14, 2016, James Kirby, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
While acting as Executive Director of the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference, Mr. Kirby
engaged in an act of misconduct in connection with the hiring and supervision of a part time prosecutor pro tem.
By this act, James Kirby has violated Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4(c) (misconduct), and is hereby
Publicly Censured for this violation.
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorneyâs ability to
practice law.
