Tennessee’s 2018 Attorney Ivory Soap Purity Rating = 99.7%

Ivory Soap advertises a purity rating of 99.44%. In the Tennessee legal system, there are 22,793 attorneys practicing throughout the state. For the year 2018, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Tennessee Supreme Court handed out the following complimentary sanctions against one-hundred-seventy-five (175) attorneys for engaging in a variety of misconduct.

• 32 = number of public reprimands
• 28 = number of suspensions
• 22 = number of temporary suspensions
• 23 = number of disbarments
• 39 = number of censures
• 31 = number of transfers to disability/inactive with discipline pending

This laughable finding by the Tennessee Supreme Court means that Tennessee has a 99.7% Ivory Soap Purity rating for 2018 is preposterous in that it indicates the near impossibility of finding a dishonest or incompetent attorney.

This would mean that if all 175 attorneys attended a University of Tennessee basketball game at the Thompson–Boling Arena with a seating capacity of 24,535 it’d be nearly impossible to locate the 175 unethical attorneys even if they raised their hands in unison.
