Nearly 50 Tennessee lawyers participated in today’s inaugural “TBA Day on the Hill,” meeting with more than 20 state legislators, attending committee meetings and hearing from state government officials. The day kicked off with remarks from Brandon Gibson, chief operating officer for the state, and Secretary of State Tre Hargett. Participants also observed proceedings of the House Civil Justice Committee. The day wrapped up with individual meetings with legislators to discuss important issues affecting Tennessee attorneys. The TBA’s annual legislative reception, known as Big Shrimp, will take place this evening and provide additional opportunities to connect with elected officials.
