Staff photo by C.B. Schmelter / Gerald WebbHamilton County sessions court Judge Gerald Webb has had his law license suspended for failing to earn required continuing education credits, the Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts confirmed Thursday.
Judy Bond-McKissack, Executive Director of the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal Education, said that once attorneys are suspended for non-compliance, they must come back into compliance before they can be taken off suspension.
Suspended attorneys cannot practice law.
“In Webb’s case, he will have to earn and report new continuing education hours to the commission and pay administrative fees in relation to those courses in order to come into compliance,” Bond-McKissack said.
She could not give an exact number for fees Webb will be expected to pay prior to the reinstatement of his law license. However, a $500 suspension fee, a $100 non-compliance fee and a $200 continuing non-compliance fee are required according to state court Rule 21, Section 7.
