The speakers from the Knoxville Bar Association Lawyer
Referral & Information Service won’t be outspoken. That
is, they intend to be second to none when it comes to
speaking out about the law. Attorneys experienced in a
wide range of practice areas will speak to your group or
organization without charge on the subject of your
choice.
The Speakers Bureau is offered
as a free public service of the KBA Lawyer Referral &
Information Service. Presentations may be
scheduled at local schools, colleges, community and
civic clubs, church organizations and businesses for
presentations to groups with 10 or more attendees.
In today's economy, financial challenges and legal
issues are a top priority for everyone. The Knoxville Bar Association's Lawyer
Referral & Information Service (LRIS) is here to help.
Local lawyers are willing to volunteer their time to
speak on a variety of topics. You may request a speaker by calling Robin Cox at 522-6522 to discuss the
specifics of your request. LRIS requires 4-6 weeks
advance notice in order to ensure the availability of a
speaker.
