The TBA Young Lawyers Division's (YLD) Diversity Law Week program was recognized at the American Bar Association (ABA) annual meeting in Chicago. The program received an achievement award as one of the top state programs in the country related to diversity. The program was created by Quinton Thompson, immediate past YLD president. Program co-chairs were Chattanooga attorney Ariel Anthony, Memphis attorney Kevin Christopher and Nashville attorney Erin Shackelford. Over the course of the week, 100 diverse high school students across the state had an opportunity to shadow attorneys, explore courtrooms and immerse themselves in law school for a day. See photos from this year's Chattanooga programMemphis program and Nashville program.
