Candidates who passed the February 2022 Tennessee Bar Exam are being admitted to the practice of law at ceremonies across the state this week. Today, in-person ceremonies were held in Jackson, Knoxville, Memphis and Nashville. Virtual ceremonies will be held Thursday and Friday. TBA President Sherie Edwards, YLD President Billy Leslie and Executive Director Joycelyn Stevenson were on hand at the Nashville ceremony. Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Bivins administered the oath of office. In Knoxville, YLD Board Member Zack Walden with Eldridge & Blakney introduced new admittees on behalf of the TBA while Justice Sharon Lee administered the oath of office. In addressing the new lawyers, Lee encouraged them to “Remember to keep your personal and professional life in balance. Use your license for good and your time to help others.”
