Spenser Flinn Powell

Posted on: Dec 31, 2018

Spenser Flinn Powell graduated from the University of Tennessee (’12), and the University of Tennessee College of Law (’17).  During law school, he attained the highest grade point averages during his first and second years of study, and was the valedictorian of his law school class. In addition, his classmates and the faculty and staff named Spenser the Outstanding Graduate of the Class of 2017. Among other activities, Spenser served as an Executive Editor on the Tennessee Law Review and Vice-Chair of the Moot Court Executive Board.  He was awarded the McClung Medal, the highest award given by the faculty to the most outstanding member of UT Moot Court. After graduating from law school, Spenser served as a judicial law clerk to Chief Judge Thomas A. Varlan of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee. The following year, he was going to begin his judicial clerkship for Judge Carolyn D. King of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Houston, Texas. Once his judicial clerkships were complete, Spenser was set to become an associate in the litigation group of Bass, Berry & Sims PLC in Nashville, Tennessee. He enjoyed hiking, biking, running, video games, science fiction, and so much more. He was incredibly intelligent, artistic, and kind. He enjoyed being an advocate for those in need, was a friend to all, and a superhero to his brothers and sisters.  Spenser died as he lived, striving to reach a goal.
