The TBA Mentoring Committee, in partnership with the TBA Young Lawyers Division (YLD), held its inaugural "Sandwiches & Sidebars" event in the new TBA office in Nashville. Law students and members of the YLD and YLD Fellows enjoyed casual conversation and worked to expand their social network and build relationships in this laid-back setting. The event will be held quarterly in Nashville and the committee plans on holding "Sandwiches & Sidebars" in different cities across the state in the near future. See a photo from the event.
