Letter From Your Administrative Law Section Chair

Posted by: Sarah Booher on Mar 17, 2026

It's been an amazing bar year, and it’s all because of our awesome members and your support, participation and belief in this work! Thank you for being here and for continuing to support the Administrative Law Section.

Our Administrative Law Forum took place in December and was well-attended. With distinguished guest speakers Laura Chastain, Jerry Taylor, Bill Penny, Administrative Judge Mary Collier and Chief Administrative Judge Phillip Hilliard, we were both engaged and entertained as we brought the year to a close. And now it’s already time for our annual writing competition! Do you know a law student who could really use $1,000? Please share our competition rules with them or remind any of the Tennessee law schools of this great opportunity for their students. The deadline for submissions is April 30.

If there’s an administrative law topic you’d like to see covered soon, or you want to submit an article to our TBA Administrative Law Connect newsletter, please reach out to me (sarah.booher@tn.gov) or Section Coordinator Brooke Leeton (bleeton@tnbar.org) with your ideas. We look forward to talking with you!
