A delegation of eight lawyers from Tennessee are representing the state during this year’s ABA Day on the Hill events. Today’s visits included meetings with U.S. Reps. David Kustoff, Scott DesJarlais, Steve Cohen and Tim Burchett, as well as Sen. Lamar Alexander. The delegation will meet with Sen. Marsha Blackburn on Thursday. The main topics for discussion are increased funding for the Legal Services Corporation and maintaining the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. Today’s agenda also included a presentation by Kirsten Jacobson on her own connection to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program and the important work of the Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services.
