This past weekend the incoming 2019-2020 Tennessee Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Division board made history by holding its Spring Planning Meeting in an oh so "young lawyer" fashion by convening via web-video and conference calls.  Much was accomplished during the meeting, as the various committees and new Board members collaborated and planned the details of the upcoming year alongside the tutelage of incoming TBA YLD President, Troy Weston. So what's ahead you ask? I'm not going to spill all the beans just yet. Stay Tuned!  For a review of the TBA 101 and YLD Board information, click here. 

The big week is finally upon us: The Tennessee Bar Association’s Annual Convention begins tomorrow, June 12. This year’s Convention is chock-full of even better programming, exhibits and fun than last year! Look forward to:

• Free Access to 9 Hours of CLE, including the Bench Bar Program, co-sponsored by the Tennessee Judicial Conference
• Opening welcome reception
• Bench Bar Luncheon (featuring keynote speaker, Ken Starr)
• Law School and General Breakfasts
• Lawyers Luncheon (featuring special honor for Sen. Lamar Alexander)
• Thursday night joint reception sponsored with TLAW and TABL
• Thursday night Dinner/Dance Party featuring My So-Called Band
• Friday night TBALL/YLD Party
• Access to activities and programming designed for well-being including massages, contemplative space and more.
• Access to TBA's sponsorship hall to meet with exhibitors, participate in our special TBA Wellness Corner and win prizes.

This past week a delegation of eight lawyers from Tennessee represented the TBA during this year’s ABA Day on the Hill.  The TBA group had a successful trip to D.C., which included several meetings with Tennessee Congressional members.  The main topics of discussion during the meetings were increased funding for the Legal Services Corporation and maintaining the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.  

The Tennessee Bar Association Young Lawyers Division is excited to announce the members of the 2019-2020 Board. The new board is cast with a diverse spectrum of backgrounds, experiences and skills. Needless to say, we can’t wait for the new board to serve the Tennessee legal community and to foster the various YLD programs and initiatives.  

All forms need to completed and submitted the first Friday of every month.
