The Tennessee Supreme Court recently recognized Middle Tennessee attorneys who performed more than 50 hours of pro bono service in 2015, earning each the designation “Attorney for Justice.” The court also recognized recent law graduates who performed 50 or more hours of service during their law school career as “Law Students for Justice.” One area firm, Dodson, Parker, Behm & Capparella, was honored for performing an average of 50 or more hours of pro bono service per attorney in 2015. Finally, the court presented certificates of appreciation to the Board of Professional Responsibility and the Commission on Continuing Legal Education and Specialization for their support of access to justice initiatives. Honors were presented by Tennessee Supreme Court Chief Justice Jeff Bivins and Justice Cornelia Clark. See photos from the event, which took place at the Belmont University College of Law.
