The Tennessee Supreme Court last week hosted state supreme court chief justices from around the country as the Conference of Chief Justices (CCJ) held its Mid-Year Meeting in Nashville. While normally only the chief justice from each state attends CCJ conferences, all five of Tennessee's justices were able to attend since the state hosted the event. Sessions included the impact of AI on the administration of justice, the practice of law and law school curricula, in addition to ethical considerations related to AI in litigation and the judiciary. The justices also heard Tennessee author Keel Hunt, Nashville School of Law Dean William Koch and Nashville attorney Hal Hardin recount the story of how former Gov. Lamar Alexander took his oath of office early to stop a pardon scandal. That account is chronicled in Keel’s book “Coup.”Learn more about the meeting.
