The Effect of Bankruptcy on Rule 69.04: Guarding a Judgment’s Fountain of Youth
In the current Tennessee Bar Journal, Jackson lawyer Jonathan Steen writes about Tennessee judgments, which are good for 10 years. Rule 69.04, amended by the Tennessee Supreme Court in 2016, makes the process now even easier to extend the life of a judgment. Read "Guarding a Judgment’s Fountain of Youth: Consider the Effect of Bankruptcy on Rule 69.04" to learn the details of how to use that effectively.
Lawyers Asking for Help? New Column Shows Us How
"The truth is that most of us are not good at asking for help," Buddy Stockwell writes in his new TBJ column. "For one thing, there is the myth that it makes a person appear weak. In fact, however, asking for help empowers the person because it allows them to face chronic problems head-on, instead of being stuck in a quagmire of secret misery. … Asking for help is still not easy though, especially regarding personal problems, and lawyers and judges are particularly resistant to the concept of seeking help. We are not comfortable surrendering to anything." Stockwell, who is the executive director of the Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program, will write a column in every other issue.
