Judge Howard Upchurch of Pikeville, TN; ethical troll
The state of Tennessee presented Howard Upchurch with a law license in 1982 after he graduated from the University of Tennessee School of Law.
The Tennessee Board of Judicial Conduct found and/or alleged that Judge Upchurch was guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.
The ethics complaint is related to ongoing divorce proceedings between Pikeville husband and wife, Ben and Stacy Farmer, who recently ran against each other for Bledsoe County school board, which Ben won.
As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the cheerleaders for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Tennessee Supreme Court punished Howie by gifting him with a complimentary admonition.
As we speak (ca. August 2020), Howie continues to sit as a Bledsoe County General Sessions Judge in Pikeville, Tennessee.
In addition, Judge Upshaw supplements his judicial salary by engaging in the practice of law with the Howard L. Upchurch Law Offices at 3173 Main Street in Pikeville, Tennessee.
