The TBA Young Lawyers Division (YLD) is looking for volunteer attorneys for a debt relief clinic on March 2 at 3:30 p.m. CST. The clinic is fully virtual and open to clients in Middle and East Tennessee. Volunteer attorneys need not represent debtors in bankruptcy but should be familiar with consumer bankruptcy law, including Tennessee exemptions. Although clients who qualify will be referred to willing attorneys for pro bono Chapter 7 representation, clinic volunteers need only commit to advising clients during the virtual clinic. Chief U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Shelley Rucker will kick off the clinic with a presentation to clients about bankruptcy and then volunteer attorneys will meet with clients in online breakout rooms. The clinic is being held in collaboration with the Belmont University College of Law, Federal Bar Association, Knoxville Bar Association, Chattanooga Bar Association, Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services (TALS), Legal Aid Society and Legal Aid of East Tennessee. Contact Alix Rogers to volunteer to help.
