GREENE COUNTY LAWYER CENSURED
On May 8, 2013, Duncan Cates Cave, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, received a
Public Censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
After being ordered to prepare an order for the Court, Mr. Cave failed to prepare an order. After being
personally served with a Show Cause Order commanding him to appear and show cause why he had not
submitted the order, Mr. Cave failed to attend the hearing on the Show Cause Order. The Court held Mr. Cave
in contempt of court for continually and willfully failing to comply with an order of the court and failing to
appear.
By these acts, Mr. Cave has violated Rule of Professional Conduct RPC 8.4 (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.
