If you weren't able to make it to the TBA Convention in Memphis last week or missed the live stream, the video from Friday's Lawyers Luncheon is now available online. A number of Tennessee lawyers were recognized for their service to the profession and communities at the event, and Brentwood lawyer Sherie Edwards took the oath of office to become the new president for the association. Among those honored were AC Wharton and Ruby Wharton, with the William M. Leech Jr. Public Service Award; Todd Pinckley, with the Justice Joseph W. Henry Award for Outstanding Legal Writing; Willie Santana, with the Claudia Jack Award (note that audio in the presentation from Buck Lewis is now available at the 21:30 mark); Al Harvey, with the Judge Pamela L. Reeves Tennessee Professionalism Award; and Judge Pamela L. Reeves, with the Justice Frank F. Drowota III Outstanding Judicial Service Award presented posthumously.
