About 40 law students from Belmont University College of Law met with leaders of the TBA Young Lawyers Division (YLD) last month. YLD Board members Ginny Blake, Grace Benitone Burnett, Billy Leslie, Alix Rogers and Ross Smith participated in a lively panel to discuss the many benefits of getting involved with the TBA. Membership, which is free to law students, provides access to continuing legal education, opportunities to network and savings on school supplies and insurance. The lawyers encouraged students to volunteer at clinics to help others, attend CLEs to increase their professional knowledge, and apply for the 2025 Diversity Leadership Institute (DLI), a six-month leadership and mentoring program.
