The TBA YLD, in partnership with the Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands and Legal Aid of East Tennessee, hosted a virtual name change clinic on Saturday. Fifteen attorneys and eight law students met on Zoom for a training, and then assisted clients in filling out name change petitions and giving counsel and advice on pro se representation. Thirty clients were served at the clinic and $7,500 in legal services were donated. The name change clinic is a new signature project of the TBA YLD aimed at making Tennessee a more welcoming place.
