Join Moderator Judge Alex McVeagh and panelists Justice Sarah Campbell, Judge John W. McClarty, Judge Ana Escobar, and Judge David Veile for a one-hour conversation about their paths from first-generation lawyers to the bench. They’ll share how they built their careers without direct ties to the legal profession, the challenges they faced and the lessons they learned along the way.
Whether you’re a first-generation attorney or simply interested in the journeys of those who serve in the judiciary, this Tennessee Bar Association program offers practical insights, encouragement, and a candid look at what it takes to succeed at the highest levels of the legal field.
