## Opinion

In the Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided: March 12, 2026

S22Y0943, S22Y0944, S22Y0945, S22Y0946. IN THE MATTER OF

CANDACE LANETTE SNEED.

PER CURIAM.

The Court, having reviewed the notice of compliance submitted by the Office of the General Counsel of the State Bar of Georgia, and it appearing that Candace Lanette Sneed (State Bar No. 797458) has satisfied the conditions for reinstatement as specified by this Court, see In the Matter Sneed, 314 Ga. 506 (877 SE2d 608) (2022), it is hereby ordered that Candace Lanette Sneed be reinstated to practice law in the State of Georgia.

Reinstated. All the Justices concur.

## Summaries written by Georgia Commons

The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the opinion above and is not part of the court's opinion. Quote the opinion, not the summary.

The Supreme Court of Georgia reinstated Candace Lanette Sneed to practice law after finding she met the conditions the court had previously set for her return to the State Bar.

### Plain-language summary

Candace Lanette Sneed, a Georgia lawyer, had earlier been barred from practicing law under conditions the Supreme Court of Georgia set out in a 2022 disciplinary decision. To return to practice, she needed to show the court she had satisfied those conditions.
The State Bar of Georgia's Office of the General Counsel filed a notice confirming Sneed had complied with the court's requirements. Based on that notice, the Supreme Court of Georgia found she had met the conditions and ordered her reinstated to practice law in Georgia.

### Holding, as summarized

The court found that Sneed satisfied the reinstatement conditions it had earlier specified in her disciplinary case, based on the State Bar's notice of compliance, and ordered her reinstated to the practice of law in Georgia.

### Disposition

Reinstated. All the Justices concur.

### Why it matters

This lets Candace Lanette Sneed resume representing clients as a licensed Georgia attorney, showing the process by which disciplined lawyers can earn back their right to practice once they meet court-ordered conditions.
