The TBA Mentoring Committee's goal is to foster mutually beneficial relationships between the participating attorneys, reduce the isolation experienced by some beginning attorneys, improve the quality of legal services received by clients, place renewed emphasis on the importance of professionalism, and generally benefit the legal professional as a whole.

Sandwiches & Sidebars

Sandwiches & Sidebars Networking marketing imageBring your lunch and join colleagues for Sandwiches & Sidebars, a new quarterly networking meet-up hosted by the TBA Mentoring Committee. This casual gathering is a great opportunity to meet new people, expand your professional network, exchange ideas, and connect with fellow members of the legal community in a relaxed setting.

The next event is set for Monday, Nov. 2, at 11 a.m.-1 p.m. CST at the TBA Office located at 3010 Poston Ave., Nashville 37203. Free parking is available. TBA Members should drop in as their schedule allows — stay for a few minutes or the full two hours. From experienced to mid-career attorneys, to young lawyers, to law students, all TBA members are encouraged to attend. This event is supported by the Young Lawyers Division. Hope to see you there!

Mentoring Meet-Ups

Marketing image for TBA Mentoring Committee's Monthly Meet-UpsThe TBA Mentoring Committee has launched Mentoring Meet-Ups, a monthly series of informal gatherings designed to help mentoring relationships grow naturally across the profession. Each month, the committee will offer an opportunity where attorneys at every stage of practice and law students are invited to connect, visit and build relationships in a relaxed setting. The goal is simple: TBA creates the space where relationships can develop on their own. Whether you are attending a collaborative happy hour, volunteering at a legal clinic, cheering on a local team, taking a hike or participating in a TBA program or CLE, these monthly touchpoints will encourage organic mentorship, peer support and a stronger sense of community within the Tennessee bar.
