An item in Monday’s TBA Today failed to note that the Tennessee Professionalism Award is jointly sponsored by Tennessee’s American Inns of Court and the Tennessee Bar Association. This award is presented each year to a lawyer or judge whose life and practice display sterling character and unquestioned integrity, coupled with ongoing dedication to the highest standards of the rule of law and the highest standards of the legal profession in Tennessee. The award will be presented to a lawyer or judge residing in the grand division of the state where the TBA's Annual Convention is held (this year, the Western Grand Division). Nominees must be alive when their nomination is submitted but need not be an active member of an American Inn of Court or the TBA. The TBA Annual Convention is scheduled to be held in Memphis and virtually this year the week of June 14. The deadline for submitting nominations is May 3.

A story in yesterday’s issue of TBA Today featured a Nashville attorney who has been recognized by the National LGBT Bar Association as one of its 40 Best LGBTQ Lawyers Under 40.

Both lawyers will be recognized in August at the 2020 Lavender Law Conference in Washington, D.C.

The cover story of this month's Tennessee Bar Journal — "Tennessee Law in the Time of Pandemic Disease" by William O. Shults and Michael Caskey — is so timely that as the issue was being printed, the World Health Organization (WHO) was still coming up with the proper name to call the coronavirus. After the printing, the WHO determined that the name of the virus would be SARS_CoV-2, and the disease caused by the virus would be called COVID-19. The online version of the Journal is correct and up-to-date with this distinction.

A story in Friday’s issue of TBA Today included information from the Board of Law Examiners that ranked the state’s law schools on bar passage rates.
