On Wednesday, September 3, 2025, the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility announced the reinstatement of attorney Archie Sanders, III, to the active practice of law. This decision follows an order from the Tennessee Supreme Court, which was issued on the same date.
On May 27, 2025, Sanders was suspended from practicing law for one year, with two months designated as an active suspension and the remaining time served on probation. The terms of his probation included the requirement to work under a practice monitor and to repay all costs associated with the Board.
After serving the suspension, Sanders filed a Petition for Reinstatement on August 5, 2025. The Board reviewed his petition and deemed it satisfactory.
As part of his reinstatement, Sanders must continue to comply with the conditions established by the Supreme Court in its May order.
According to Martindale.com, Mr. Sanders III attended the University of California, Los Angeles, and graduated in 1987. He acquired his law license in Tennessee in the same year.
