TBA Law Blog

Hemp and marijuana smell exactly the same, which is causing some confusion and hardship when it comes to detecting the illegal substance using "plain smell." Authors Cynthia Sherwood, Davis Griffin and Alex Mills explain it all in the December Tennessee Bar Journal. This issue also has an excellent primer for new lawyers (and any who may need a refresher) by Billy Leslie on how to keep your law license up to date and in good standing. TBA President Sarah Sheppeard writes about a recent visit to the U.S. Supreme Court; Dan Holbrook asks if Tennessee's Rule Against Perpetuities is unconstitutional; plus Gary Shockley reviews the book Say Nothing. This issue is the last one that will contain long-time columnist and former TBA president Katie Edge's column. She is retiring and moving to Texas to begin a new, full-time career as grandmother extraordinaire to triplets. So after 10 years of "Bank On It," we say a reluctant goodbye.
