The 141st Annual Tennessee Bar Association Convention was held at the Hilton in downtown Nashville, June 15 through 18, fully in person for the first time in two years. The TBA brought back in-person programming, including nine hours of continuing legal education, the annual Lawyers Luncheon, Section and Committee meetings, Leadership Law (TBALL), law school alumni gatherings and more.

Newly sworn-in TBA President Tasha C. Blakney details her goals for the 2022-2023 bar year, including offering a robust slate of CLE programming, pursuing the Public Service Academy after a two-year hiatus, launching the first-ever TBA book club, and advocating for the repeal of the professional privilege tax and fair compensation for those who labor on behalf of the indigent.

In "On the Road With TCB," Tasha will share behind the scenes looks at the volunteer work she and her husband, Michael, do with rescue dog transports.

The TBA is hosting a new book club that will meet quarterly over the next 12 months, and we want your input in choosing the first book. The first series of books involves a theme of racial relations and disparities through personal, societal and legal perspectives. We have created a webpage featuring three suggested books to kick off this initiative. Learn more and vote on the first book by July 11, then watch for more details to participate in this virtual book club.
