Yvonne N. Robertson v. Tennessee Board of Social Worker Certification and Licensure, et al. - Dissenting

There is no question the Board could sanction Ms. Robertson for her undisputed violation of the ethical rules of conduct. While the severity of the sanction may appear disproportionate to the violation itself in view of all the circumstances, courts will generally refrain from reviewing the relation of a sanction to the violation, as long as it is within the range of authorized sanctions.
