The Heirs Property Act and a Farmer’s Legacy
With a name like Grandison Grandberry, how could a man fail? Samuel Gowin explores Grandison's life, the distribution of his property after his death and the implementation of the Heirs Property Act.
Sentencing Provisions Get More Complicated
In his Crime and Punishment column, Wade Davies breaks down why this year’s crop of Tennessee statutes makes it imperative to research the potentially applicable sentencing provisions in every case, and why it is more important than ever not to rely on the class offense and range of offender to predict a sentence.

Write for the Tennessee Bar Journal!
The Tennessee Bar Journal accepts submissions for publication on an ongoing basis, so consider writing an article for the TBA’s bi-monthly magazine. Articles should be of interest to Tennessee attorneys — you could detail a new state law or a complicated area of law, or take a larger issue and connect it to what it means for Tennessee attorneys and the justice system. Find a global issue within your particular experience or knowledge and tell about it and how it affects Tennessee law. Take a look at the writer’s guidelines and email editor@tnbar.org with questions! We are especially looking for diverse voices — from BIPOC writers, from our friends in the LGBTQ+ community and from attorneys who have had diverse life and legal experiences.
