David McDowell TBA YLD President Announces Pro Bono Service Project

Gearhiser, Peters, Elliott, & Cannon, PLLC

David G. McDowell is serving as the 2013-2014 President of the Tennessee Bar Association’s Young Lawyer’s Division.    Under David’s leadership, the TBA YLD will focus its service activities on one specific project: training librarians across the state how to use free resources to help members of the public in need of legal information and advice. These tools include OnlineTNJustice , LIFT and 1-888-aLEGALz.

The goal of the Tennessee Library Education Project is to educate at least one librarian in each county, and have at least one library in each county equipped with a computer the public may use to access these free legal resources. David also is challenging colleagues to make pro bono activities a priority by volunteering to answer questions posted on OnlineTNJustice, volunteering at legal aid clinics across the state and taking pro bono cases from their local legal aid agency.
