BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

August 23, 2002
MILLINGTON LAWYER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
On August 19, 2002, the Supreme Court of Tennessee issued an order summarily and
temporarily suspending Robert C. Rosenbushâs license to practice law, upon finding that
Mr. Rosenbush had failed to answer the Board of Professional Responsibilityâs requests for
information regarding a complaint of misconduct. Section 4.3 of Supreme Court Rule 9
provides for the immediate summary suspension of an attorneyâs license to practice law in
cases of failing to respond to the Board of Professional Responsibility. Disciplinary
Counsel filed a petition with the Supreme Court alleging that Mr. Rosenbush had failed to
respond to the Boardâs requests for information regarding a complaint.
The August 19, 2002, order precludes Mr. Rosenbush from accepting any new cases
effective August 19, 2002. Mr. Rosenbush must cease representing existing clients
effective September 18, 2002. After September 18, 2002, Mr. Rosenbush shall not use any
indicia of lawyer, legal assistant, or law clerk nor maintain a presence where the practice of
law is conducted.
The order requires Mr. Rosenbush to notify by registered or certified mail all clients being
represented in pending matters, as well as co-counsel and opposing counsel of the
Supreme Courtâs order suspending his law license. Section 18 of Supreme Court Rule 9
requires Mr. Rosenbush to deliver to all clients any papers or property to which they are
entitled.
This suspension remains in effect until dissolution or modification by the Supreme Court.
Mr. Rosenbush may for good cause request dissolution or modification of the suspension
by petition to the Supreme Court.
