Very well done. Justice Kirby and Justice Tarwater were engaging. Great insights.
Excellent presentation. The insights directly from the Supreme Court Justices is invaluable.
Nice insight on the Court.
I enjoyed learning more about the Tennessee Supreme Court from Justices Kirby and Tarwater--how the court operates, how the justices interact, what the justices have learned during their time on the court, and advice they have for attorneys now.
