TBJ Columns: Estates, Torts, Employment and Family Law

Posted by: Suzanne Craig Robertson on Jan 29, 2021

Tennessee Bar Journal columnists really deliver in the January/February issue. In his column, "Where There's a Will," Dan Holbrook writes about Purpose Trusts. If you haven't seen one you're not alone, but Holbrook explains them in detail. "A successful non-charitable purpose trust needs a sufficient purpose, enforceability and careful drafting," he writes. And what could be more timely than decisions by divorced parents about getting vaccinations for their child? Marlene Eskind Moses and Benjamin Manuel Russ walk you through it in their column, "Family Matters." John Day cautions in his column, "Day on Torts," that readers "contemplating whether the common knowledge-exception applies to a particular set of facts are urged to … see how Tennessee courts have applied the principle over the years." His column shows you what you need to know. Lastly, there are new workplace accommodation requirements. Edward G. Phillips and Brandon L. Morrow explain the Tennessee Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and what is crucial for employers to understand.
