Young Lawyers Division President Rachel Moses and YLD Public Service Committee Chair Christian Barker attended the Tennessee Conference for the Social Studies (TCSS) on March 11 to discuss the civics resources offered by the Tennessee Bar Association. Held at the Cool Springs Marriot in Franklin, the day-long conference served as a venue for teachers to interact with providers of education tools. 

Currently, the TBA's Public Education programs aimed at school-aged children and young adults include the Civics and Law Academy, Civics Enrichment for Kids and the GAVELS Speakers Bureau, in which a teacher or institution can request a local attorney to visit the classroom and speak on an age-appropriote civics-related topic. 

Young lawyers interested in becoming a GAVELS speaker in their area should contact TBA Public Education and YLD Coordinator Katharine Heriges at kheriges@tnbar.org or (615) 277-3218.
