A news item in Friday’s TBA Today said that a temporary restraining order had been issued to halt the state's new law banning minors’ access to gender-affirming care.

The Tennessean has since updated its story that was the source for the TBA Today item. 

An article in Tuesday's TBA Today indicated that Gov.

Instead, he urged introduction of a “new, strong order of protection law.” The Tennessean reports on his comments about the proposal.

Chancellor Myles is the first Black female chancellor in the state, not just in Davidson County. Alert readers reminded us that Irvin H. Kilcrease Jr. was the first Black chancellor in the state. He was appointed by then Gov. Lamar Alexander in 1980 and died in 2012. See photos from Myles’s induction ceremony.

A story in yesterday’s issue of TBA Today, which summarized the provisions of a petition filed by the Board of Tennessee Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection (TLFCP) with the Tennessee Supreme Court, incorrectly stated that the petition asked the court to raise the cap on each claim.
