The Tennessee Board of Law Examiners released a statement today explaining why seat limitations are being met in cities across the state. The board says that it reserved “more than sufficient space based on the number of applicants who tested in previous years” but that the number of applicants has significantly increased. “This is primarily due to other states and the District of Columbia closing applications early” leaving Tennessee "one of the few remaining jurisdictions with open applications.” The board reported yesterday there are no remaining seats in Knoxville and Memphis, but some seats remain in Nashville.
