State officials are encouraging Tennesseans to learn more about their legal options this month, NewsChannel 9 reports. The Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance's Division of Consumer Affairs reminds everyone that National Celebrate Pro Bono Week is being observed Oct. 25-31 across the nation. The department says that the week is a good time for people to "educate themselves when it comes to their legal options, which could be a title search, estate planning or a legal defense." In Tennessee more than 50 events are happening across the state during October. Now in its seventh year, the Tennessee initiative brings together bar associations, law schools, law firms, legal services providers and individual lawyers to offer free services to those unable to afford a lawyer. Learn more about the 2015 Celebrate Pro Bono Initiative.
