RE: MARSHALL SCOTT SMITH, BPR #9257

MADISON COUNTY LAWYER PLACED ON DISABILITY INACTIVE STATUS
On October 7, 2014, the Tennessee Supreme Court entered an Order transferring the law license of
Marshall Scott Smith to disability inactive status pursuant to Section 27.3 of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9.
The Court moved Mr. Smithâs license to disability inactive status after Mr. Smith filed a notice with the Court
alleging that he suffers from a disability that renders him incapable of practicing law and prevents him from
defending himself against a disciplinary complaint pursuant to Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 27.4
(2014). By the Courtâs October 7, 2014 Order, the matter of Mr. Smithâs disability has been referred to a
hearing panel of the Board of Professional Responsibility to determine Mr. Smithâs capacity to continue to
practice law and to respond to or defend against disciplinary matters pending before the Board.
Mr. Smith cannot practice law while on disability inactive status. He may return to the practice of law
after reinstatement by the Tennessee Supreme Court upon showing of clear and convincing evidence that the
disability has been removed and he is fit to resume the practice of law.
