Calculating the new Child Tax Credit into a client's parenting plan is complicated but necessary. Read "Who Gets the Credit" by Cindy MacAulay and Miles Mason in the new Tennessee Bar Journal for help. TBA President Jason Pannu gives support to criminal justice reform, pointing out that the TBA is in a unique position to add to that discussion. "We must work with other legal groups such as the district attorneys general, public defenders, judges, legislators, representatives from the governor's office, academics, and criminal law bar organizations to discuss ideas and find common ground," he writes in his column. He adds that some of the issues the bar can address are sentencing, juveniles, specialty courts, mental health and transition back to society. This Journal also has info on the YLD CASA Volunteer of the Year Gail Henley! Read the March issue.
