ML ISSUE #15

We're proud to bring you issue #15 of our award-winning law school magazine. 

This issue also marks the first fully-digital publication of ML, Memphis Law Magazine. As you click on the articles below, you'll be taken to a more robust and visually engaging version of our magazine, laid out in a much easier to read format than our previous online editions, as well as more photos, digital artwork, video, and interactive content. It is our hope that this new format will allow you to enjoy the law school's magazine wherever you are and on whatever platform you utilize.

Within this issue, you'll find our feature story about the history of Black farmers in America and their struggles with the USDA and industry discrimination across decades of broken promises, failed policies and legislation, and massive class action settlements. 

We also hope you'll enjoy reading an in-depth profile with one of the law schools most prestigious and accomplished alumna in Tennessee Supreme Court Associate Justice Holly Kirby ('82). This rare interview with Justice Kirby not only gives some insight into the dedication and passion that have driven her to great heights and success, but also allows her to expand on some important legal trends and experiences over the course of her career.

Additionally, we are always excited to share any unique stories about our amazing students and this issue's student profile puts the spotlight on four future attorneys who are already making their (written) voices heard. Scott Cheadle, Wai-Lin Danieley, Denise Lee, and Nakota Wood have all found unique success in seeing their works published in highly regarded law review journals across the country while still in law school.

We are also proud to showcase more work done by our students and student organizations as we look back at an event hosted by our Memphis Law chapter of the Black Law Students Association (BLSA). Last fall, BLSA partnered with a national organization to bring in a national slate of speakers, including prominent attorney Ben Crump, to host a discussion about bail reform and overpolicing.

Finally, we hope you'll enjoy reading all about the work being done in the Klondike neighborhood of North Memphis by our Neighborhood Preservation Clinic as they take on new blight related challenges in the community, as well as all of our faculty news, alumni updates, and law school happenings.
