Perspectives From the Bench 2026

Description:

The Litigation Practice Section is thrilled to continue their Perspectives From the Bench series here in Nashville. We will host an afternoon conversation with Tennessee Supreme Court Chief Justice Jeff Bivins and Nashville School of Law Dean Bill Koch at TBA's new office and CLE space. Moderated by attorneys Hunter Branstetter and Todd Presnell, the panel will discuss each Justice's path to the bench, the importance of mentors, the manner in which the justices interact, the importance of the Rule of Law in our society, and more. Join us for a reception following the event, where you can network with colleagues and the Justices.
