Weed YouTube Video Draws Rebuke

A summary of a public censure imposed by the Tennessee Board on Professional Responsibility

Ms. Lawrence failed to pursue her client’s legal objectives and did not maintain good communication with her client. An investigation also revealed that Ms. Lawrence formerly maintained a YouTube channel where she posted videos of herself smoking marijuana. Ms. Lawrence identifies herself as an attorney in these videos. By openly engaging in conduct that is criminally actionable in Tennessee, Ms. Lawrence demonstrated a lack of respect for the law and legal institutions.
