Tennessee Court of the Judiciary Rules 6

As amended through November 4, 2024

Section 6 - Consensus by Investigative Panels

In the event that the members of an investigative panel are not able to reach a consensus after due consideration by meeting in person or by meeting via a conference call in which every member of the panel can hear and speak to every other member of the panel, then the investigative panel may act upon the concurrence of two of its three members. In the event that no two members of an investigative panel concur in the decision, then the presiding judge shall direct that the matter be assigned to another investigative panel for consideration. In the event the second investigative panel recommends the filing of formal charges, no member of either the first investigative panel or the second investigative panel shall serve on the hearing panel for such matter.
