It's our 2026 Annual Campaign Kick-Off Event
LAET will celebrate the start of our 2026 annual campaign by offering a free virtual dual hours CLE, developed and presented by Russell Fowler, Director of Litigation and Managing Attorney. This fast-paced offering, "The Top Ten Tennessee Lawyers" will be offered via Zoom and has been approved by the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal Education for 1.5 dual credit. During this course, you'll enjoy a survey of the top ten Tennessee lawyers of our state’s dramatic, diverse, and inspiring legal history from the territorial period to modern times. This includes litigators, judges, and scholars and the legal and major ethical challenges they confronted and overcame, thus advancing the profession, ethical standards, and justice in general. The ethical issues confronted included dealing with corruption in the courts, such as criminal activities by lawyers and judges; lawyers’ ethical duty to advance access to justice by the poor and powerless, such as through pro bono work; the obligation to represent even the unpopular and despised; and the obligation to mentor new lawyers and strive to improve our system of justice. Sometimes, these battles take great courage and risk. This course seeks to prove because of its obligations and ethics, what President Calvin Coolidge said is true: Law is “the highest of the professions.”
Reserve your spot today for this informative and entertaining 1.5 dual credit offering from LAET and approved by the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal Education.
This offering will be held via Zoom.
Registrants will receive a Zoom link at the email they utilized when signing up for the CLE.
