The state of Tennessee provided Lewis Lyman Laska with a law license in 1973 after he graduated from Vanderbilt University School of Law.

The Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility Lewis guilty of the following misconduct.

• Engaged in conduct involving fraud, deceit, dishonest or misrepresentation
• Violated or attempted to violate Rules of Conduct or knowingly assisted or induced another to do so or did so through the acts of another 8.4a
