TBA YLD Heads West to Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park for Innovative CLEs

Posted by: Laura Labenberg on Oct 7, 2025

TBA members gathered for a special event which combined two TBA Young Lawyers Division (YLD) CLE series: "Does it Please the Court?" and "Exploration." The day began with YLD President-elect Jen Sneed leading a discussion with Tennessee Supreme Court Justices Holly Kirby and Mary Wagner on a variety of topics relevant to the Tennessee legal community. Next, YLD Membership Chair Patrick Morrison led a discussion with Jessica Van Dyke from the Tennessee Innocence Project. After a ranger-led hike and lunch, YLD Past President Quinton Thompson moderated a panel with Memphis attorneys Constance Brown, Nicole Grida, Will Perry and Faith Watson on "The Ethics of Saying No." This event marked the inaugural "Does it Please the Court?" CLE. The next one in the series, From First Generation to the Bench, will be a webcast on Nov. 20 at noon CST. This was the third installment of the Exploration series which seeks to blend professional development and the peace and beauty of Tennessee State Parks.
