Drones are consuming Tennessee’s airspace at a dramatically increasing rate — and you won't be surprised to learn that brings up a lot of questions about who can do what, and in who's space? In the February Tennessee Bar Journal, James L. Cresswell Jr. addresses these timely issues. Also, Russell Fowler takes us back to 1869 when Julius J. DuBose, a Klan leader, crime boss and ruthless judge seemed unstoppable. His power ran unchecked until Memphis lawyer Luke Edward Wright, along with Tennessee's Constitution, was able to rein him in. In her column, TBA President Sarah Y. Sheppeard writes about the work of the Criminal Justice Task Force, established by Gov. Bill Lee last year. She points out that the system is broken, and the group's recommendations deserve support. Also, in this issue, learn more about how to help eliminate the state's Professional Privilege Tax.
