Tennessee Bar Association to Host 'Power of Politeness' Webcast on Civility in Legal Profession
The Tennessee Bar Association (TBA) Young Lawyers Division, in collaboration with the TBA Attorney Well Being Committee, is set to host a webcast titled 'The Power of Politeness: Why Civility Matters in the Legal Profession.' Scheduled for December 3 at noon CST, this one-hour event will feature a panel of legal professionals discussing the importance of courtesy, respect, and intentional communication within the legal field. The discussion aims to highlight how these positive behaviors can enhance relationships with clients, opposing counsel, colleagues, court staff, and the judiciary. Rather than focusing on negative behaviors to avoid, the webcast will explore the positive impact of professionalism on advocacy, negotiations, courtroom interactions, and office culture. The program will delve into what politeness entails, its significance, and its influence on the daily practice of law.
