The TBA today filed comments with the Tennessee Supreme Court on potential regulatory reform of the state’s legal profession. The comments respond to the court’s call for feedback on seven potential regulatory reforms to increase access to legal representation while also ensuring the competency of attorneys and safeguarding the public. Over the past seven months, the TBA has provided a range of opportunities for members of the legal community to share their thoughts on these possible changes. In announcing the filing of TBA’s comments, President Heidi Barcus thanked all those who participated. “The TBA is grateful for the thoughtful and insightful feedback shared by lawyers across the state during this process. Whether through emails to the TBA's Legal Access & Regulatory Reform Task Force, submissions to TBA’s survey or attendance at six virtual town hall meetings, your input greatly assisted the task force and Board of Governors in developing the comments that were filed today.” Read the TBA's comments or learn more about the issues under consideration.
