Our Mission
The Tennessee Bar Foundation is an organization of attorneys from across the state, active since 1982. Our Mission is to:
• Honor attorneys who have distinguished themselves in the profession by electing them to membership as "Fellows."
• Use the contributions of these Fellows to support law-related public interest projects
• Administer Tennessee's IOLTA (Interest On Lawyers' Trust Accounts) program.
