LAW LICENSE OF NASHVILLE ATTORNEY SUSPENDED
On October 26, 2004, the Supreme Court of Tennessee entered an Order suspending the
license of Christopher Robin Fox for a period of six (6) months to run consecutive with Foxâs
February 6, 2004 disbarment.
Disciplinary Counsel filed a Petition for Discipline pursuant to Rule 9, Rules of the
Tennessee Supreme Court on January 20, 2004. Fox filed no answer to the petition nor did he
appear at the hearing in the matter. The Hearing Panel of the Board of Professional
Responsibility recommended that Fox receive a six (6) month suspension to run consecutive to
Foxâs February 6, 2004 disbarment. Fox did not appeal. Section 18 of Tennessee Supreme
Court Rule 9 requires Fox to notify by registered or certified mail all clients being represented in
pending matters; all co-counsel and opposing counsel of the Supreme Courtâs order suspending
his license. Section 18 also requires Fox to deliver to all clients any papers or property to which
they are entitled.
This disciplinary matter was held pursuant to Supreme Court Rules 8 and 9. In
Tennessee suspended lawyers may, after the passage of their suspension, apply for reinstatement
of their law licenses. However, to succeed these lawyers must carry their burden of proof by
clear and convincing evidence that their reinstatement will not be detrimental to the integrity and
standing of the bar or the administration of justice or be subversive to the public interest.
