For forty-five years, the Tennessee Law Institute has been the gold standard for CLE programs in Tennessee.
The program was founded by the late great Don Paine and the late great John Walker, and LT Knoxville’s Sarah Sheppeard is carrying on the legacy of this fabulous program.
The Tennessee Law Institute Review Seminar kicked off in Nashville on September 22 and 23 and was in Knoxville on October 6 and 7.
The program will be in Gatlinburg on October 27 and 28, Memphis on November 10 and 11, Chattanooga on December 1 and 2, and then will return to Nashville for a final engagement on December 13 and 14.
We congratulate Sarah on her continued leadership for Tennessee’s preeminent CLE program.
