TENNESSEE LICENSED LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On November 12, 2025, the Supreme Court of Tennessee temporarily suspended Edward Kendall White,
a resident of Coeur dâAlene, Idaho, from the practice of law for failing to respond to the Board of Professional
Responsibility concerning one (1) complaint of misconduct. Section 12.3 of Supreme Court Rule 9 provides for
the immediate summary suspension of an attorneyâs license to practice law in cases of an attorneyâs failure to
respond to a complaint of misconduct.
Mr. White is immediately precluded from accepting any new cases, and he must cease representing
existing clients by December 12, 2025. After December 12, 2025, Mr. White shall not use any indicia of lawyer,
legal assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence wherein the practice of law is conducted. Mr. White must
notify all clients being represented in pending matters, as well as co-counsel and opposing counsel, of the Supreme
Courtâs Order suspending his law license, and he is required to deliver to all clients any papers or property to
which they are entitled.
Mr. White must comply with the requirements of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Sections 28 and
12.3(d), regarding the obligations and responsibilities of temporarily suspended attorneys and the procedure for
reinstatement.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court. Mr. White, for
good cause, request dissolution or modification of the suspension by petition to the Supreme Court.
