Learning about the law with the Knoxville Bar Association
Laws provide us with the rules to live and work together in peace and safety. For most people, today’s law is a jumble of legal statutes and court rulings, and can lead to much frustration and many questions for anyone trying to understand it. Through the generosity of member volunteers, the Knoxville Bar Association has a number of programs to educate the public about the law.
Good citizenship requires that everyone have at least a basic knowledge of the law. This may seem an impossible task, because the law is constantly changing; the law today may not be the law tomorrow.
