All YLD members should consider attending Bench Bar. More than 20 of our local judges have


indicated that they plan to attend,


making Bench Bar your best opportunity to interact with judges at a venue that is a lot more relaxed than the courthouse. You can knock out your annual CLE requirements on the cheap, and as soon as you’re done with CLE each day, the beach is only steps away. As an added bonus, you’ll get to witness Kirk Caraway and Tim Johnson resume their annual beach volleyball rivalry.


If all of that wasn’t enough to convince you, this year, BankTennessee is giving away five $100 registration credits to first-time Bench Bar attendees who are also in their first five years of practice. If you meet these requirements and register by April 18th, you’ll automatically be entered. A big thanks to BankTennessee for making this incentive possible!
