Also in this issue, a story by Linda Sue Nicklos explains and asks if Tennessee will adopt restitutionary disgorgement. And we begin a two-part series by Cody Brandon detailing the history of the right to vote in Tennessee. He covers the years 1796 to 1869 in this installment. Next month, we'll learn about the state's voting history from 1870. The issue also includes a column by Matt and Kelly Frere about why seniors as clients are different during a state of emergency. 

 "I challenge you to think back one year," Sarah Y. Sheppeard writes in her final column as TBA president. "What would you have predicted for June 2020? I will be the first to admit that my plans for this TBA bar year did not include coping with a global pandemic. Neither did I envision working from home for weeks, wearing a mask to the grocery store or not being able to meet in person with a client." And yet, here we are! Sheppeard writes about the big difference a year makes, and invites all to the TBA convention, which is free and includes eight amazing hours of CLE. The issue also includes a review by John P. Williams of the book, Lincoln's Last Trial: The Murder Case that Propelled Him to the Presidency.

We should know better than to try and predict "what's next," if the last few months are any indication, but we do know you'll be getting a Tennessee Bar Journal next month, and we can even tip you off about some of what's in it. For starters, we'll have the second half of that "Short History of the Right to Vote in Tennessee's Constitutions and Court," plus we'll be focused on the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Our criminal law column takes a look at Michael Flynn and motions to dismiss. And because summer is always a good time for fiction, we have a short story, too!
