Details

This one-hour program will explore the significant and growing challenges surrounding indigent representation and the increasing prevalence of legal deserts. A panel of judges and attorneys will examine the underlying causes of limited access to counsel, discuss practical strategies for expanding the availability of legal services — including through appointed representation — and consider emerging solutions being advanced by courts and the broader legal community. The program will also address the professional responsibility and ethical considerations implicated in access-to-justice issues and is for dual CLE credit.

One hour of dual CLE credit is available for a $25 processing fee. Contact jvossler@tnbar.org if you would like to obtain CLE credit.

Presenters: 

Hon. Catherine Lee Bussart, Marshall County General Sessions and Juvenile Court

Rachel Moses, Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands

Joy Radice, Winston College of Law 

Hon. Zachary Walden, Criminal Court Judge - Eighth Judicial District
