In the Matter of Shanina Nashae Lank

Shanina Nashae Lank, a Georgia attorney, had previously been disciplined and was required to meet specific conditions before she could resume practicing law, as laid out in an earlier Supreme Court of Georgia decision from 2017. The State Bar of Georgia's Office of the General Counsel later submitted a notice to the court confirming that Lank had satisfied those conditions. Based on that notice, the Supreme Court of Georgia reviewed the record and found she had done what was required, so it ordered that she be reinstated to practice law in Georgia.

Because the State Bar's Office of the General Counsel confirmed that Shanina Nashae Lank satisfied the conditions previously set for her reinstatement, the Supreme Court of Georgia ordered her reinstated to the practice of law in Georgia.

The order allows Lank to resume practicing law in Georgia, restoring her professional standing and her ability to represent clients. It also shows how the State Bar and the court monitor and confirm compliance before letting a disciplined lawyer return to practice.
