David Tarpley had never met a lawyer growing up. He had no idea what they were or what they did. But when he was told one of his favorite pastimes, arguing, was what a lawyer did for a living, he was sold. bizjournals.com/nashville/ne…

The ice accumulation is not forecast to be a real disruption to daily life tomorrow morning. In fact, it registers pretty low on the Winter Storm Severity Index. Be careful driving, though.

Metro passed a $2.6 million grant that will fund Nashville's Right to Counsel program. With that money, WPLN's @MariannaBac reports Legal Aid (@LASMTC) will be able to triple its number of housing attorneys from two to six. wpln.org/post/landlords-have…

Sitting in on @Erinfor12’s meeting with @LASMTC. One of the most important pro tips: always show up to your eviction court date! There could be options—rent relief, etc—that you’d miss otherwise. Thanks to @zulfat4council, right to counsel is funded in Nashville.
