The American Bar Association (ABA) kicked off its Midyear Meeting in New Orleans this week. Today, the ABA the Board of Governors met. Tomorrow, Tennesseans at the meeting will gather for a reception to honor past TBA Executive Director Joycelyn Stevenson. On Sunday, the House of Delegates Nominating Committee will vote on the next president-elect nominee. Bill Bay, a partner with Thompson Coburn in St. Louis and past chair of the House of Delegates, is running unopposed. On Monday, the House is expected to consider nearly 30 proposed resolutions and amendments. Among those is a proposal to eliminate the law school admissions test (LSAT) requirement. A previous push to abandon the exam fell apart at the last minute, Reuters reports. The ABA Journal has more on the meeting.
