The Tennessee Bar Foundation has announced the induction of its newest fellows, a distinguished group of attorneys and judges being recognized for exceptional contributions to the legal profession and the public good. The group of 28 join Tennessee Supreme Court justices, state and federal judges, and practitioners in diverse legal fields who have demonstrated a commitment to improving their communities and upholding the integrity of the legal profession. This honor is extended to a select few, representing less than 5% of licensed attorneys in the state. "We are incredibly proud to welcome the Class of 2026 into the distinguished ranks of our Fellows. The Tennessee Bar Foundation Fellows represent the very best of the Tennessee legal community and the legal leaders who have helped shape — and continue to shape — the practice of law in our great state," said foundation chair Sam D. Elliott. Read more and see the list of new fellow in a press release from the foundation.
