Distinguished Faculty Awards

Each year since 1994 the School honors a faculty member or members who have made significant contributions to the School and the legal community. The honorees are celebrated at the Nashville School of Law Recognition Dinner, held each year in June. It’s known as the largest social gathering of attorneys in the state each year. Read about the most recent celebration here.
