Belmont University College of Law second-year student Chelsea Morgan is the winner of the school’s Fifth Annual Legal Fiction Workshop Contest. Her winning entry “My Son Spots” is an atmospheric story of an attorney who finds her footing again after an encounter with a client who loses everything. The workshop, taught by Professor Kristi Arth, is offered as an extracurricular activity for a limited number of 2Ls and 3Ls each spring. Winners are selected by outside community reader through an anonymized review process. This year’s reader was former Tennessee Bar Journal editor Suzanne Craig Robertson. In selecting Morgan for the recognition, Robertson said the writing was excellent, the imagery well done and theme of showing there is hope to come even in the bleakest situations “is a good message for all busy lawyers to heed.” Read more in a release from Belmont.
