Congratulations to the following full-time students who earned a grade point average for the 2019-2020 academic year that placed them in the top 20% of their class.

Although graduation has been postponed to August 29, 2020, Nashville School of Law held a virtual ceremony to confer degrees upon the class of 2020.

Watch President & Dean William C. Koch, Jr.’s brief statements here, as well as an online tribute to the graduates.

Congratulations to each of our new J.D.s!

Because of the current constraints on large social gatherings, we have been forced to cancel our Recognition Dinner scheduled for Friday, June 5, 2020.  Even though all of us look forward to this event every year, the paramount consideration is our collective health and safety.  Please mark Friday, June 11, 2021 on your calendar, when our dinner will resume with a grand celebration of NSL’s 110th Anniversary. 

In addition to being a much-anticipated social event for Tennessee’s legal community, our annual dinner raises funds that enable us to continue providing an excellent legal education to working men and women. We are grateful that you have supported us in the past, and we encourage you to continue supporting us again this year. You can donate online here.

Great things are happening at NSL. Our applications are solid, and we are looking forward to welcoming the class of 2024 in August. Like the students who preceded them, these aspiring lawyers believe that NSL provides them with an opportunity to change their lives and live into their dreams.  With your support, our School will continue to be the place where today’s leaders train tomorrow’s lawyers.

We also hope you may find a few minutes to enjoy this slideshow from dinners in years past.

In light of changing information, the School has developed this Q&A to assist the class of 2020.
