The Tennessee Bar Association (TBA) honored Joy Radice with the University of Tennessee Winston College of Law at a reception at the American Bar Association (ABA) Midyear Meeting in San Antonio. Meeting attendees from across the country gathered to celebrate Radice, who serves as director of clinical programs and associate professor of law. See pictures from the event. The TBA hosts the Tennessee Reception twice a year at the ABA Midyear Meeting in February and the Annual Meeting in August. The events provide an opportunity to raise the state's visibility among the national legal community and honor the good work being done by Tennessee attorneys. Members of the TBA Young Lawyers Division (YLD) also were in town for the reception and ABA YLD meetings. See photos from their activities.
