Tennessee Multijurisdictional Practice (MJP)

Tennessee Rule 5.5 generally tracks ABA Model Rule 5.5. Lawyers with a systematic Tennessee presence must register under Rule 7, Section 10.01.

Temporary practice

Temporary services under Rule 5.5(c) may be permitted when requirements are met. Court appearances remain subject to pro hac vice.
