We’re celebrating the Tennessee Bar Journal’s first 40 years all year!

In each issue we have looked at areas of life in the law to see how the TBJ covered them. This month we wrap it up. In the January 2005 Tennessee Bar Journal I wrote about the 40 years’ worth of magazines stacked around me, as we began the year-long commemoration of this publication’s four decades. Since then we’ve spent 12 months chronicling how the profession has changed (and not changed) from the magazine’s yellowed pages. It’s been fun, but frankly, I’m ready to stop living in the past and get on with my life.

We’ve looked at legislation, women in the law, the Young Lawyers Division, Joe Henry Award winners, conventions, editorial board, continuing legal education, sections and committees, and the judiciary. It’s a good history, full of rich drama, and I welcome you to come browse the pages anytime.

Before I shut these navy blue hardback volumes, though, I wanted to show you a couple more things. These are some high points of the Journal’s first 40 (the low points you either already remember too well on your own … or you don’t need to know about them).

Now let’s concentrate on Vol. 42 — and the years that follow. Happy 40th, TBJ! May there be many more.
