Belmont College of Law Professor and Faculty Adviser for Belmont’s Criminal Law Society and Legal Aid Society, Jeffrey Usman has been selected as one of 37 lawyers from across the state, by the Tennessee Bar Association (TBA), to participate in the 2015 Leadership Law program. This is a six month leadership training program for distinguished young lawyers.
Now in its 12th year, the program is designed to equip Tennessee lawyers with the vision, knowledge and skills necessary to serve as leaders in their profession and local communities. The class will meet for its first session in January, and then spend the next six months learning about leadership in the legal profession, issues in the courts, policymaking in state government and the importance of community service.
