The TBA Young Lawyers Division hosted its signature — and award winning — debt clinic virtually on March 2. The clinic was open to clients in middle and east Tennessee. Chief U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Shelley Rucker kicked off the clinic with a presentation to clients about bankruptcy, and then seven volunteer attorneys and 14 students from Belmont Law and Nashville School of Law met with clients in breakout rooms for counsel and advice. The clinic was held in collaboration with Belmont University College of Law, Federal Bar Association, Chattanooga Bar Association, Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services, Legal Aid of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands, and Legal Aid of East Tennessee.
