The Metropolitan Historical Commission has approved a historical marker celebrating the founding of the Nashville School of Law in 1911. The marker will be unveiled on Tuesday, October 15, 2019, at the corner of Church Street and YMCA Way.  All students, faculty, alumni, Board of Trust members, and the public are cordially invited to join us to celebrate this welcome recognition of the historic importance of our School. The ceremony will begin at 11:00 a.m. at the site of the marker.

Typical classroom discussions took an unexpected and welcomed detour Monday, September 9 as Nashville School of Law students had a surprise guest speaker – Chief Justice of the United States John G. Roberts, Jr.

When Leticia Mason’s husband was transferred by his employer Caterpillar Financial from Mexico City to Nashville, Leticia wasn’t worried. They didn’t have children then and as a lawyer she knew she could get a job; they saw it as an adventure. “I didn’t give it a big thought,” she says. “When a lawyer moves from the U.S. to Mexico he may not be able to go to the courts but would be able to get a good job, making money as an attorney.”
