Nashville Bar Foundation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Mission of the Nashville Bar Foundation is to promote and preserve the honor and integrity of the legal profession, to improve the administration of justice, to enhance legal education, to provide financial support to law students through loans and scholarships, and to foster the continuing education of lawyers and the judiciary.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Objective of the Nashville Bar Foundation is to raise an endowment that will allow the NBF to have an impact on initiatives in the Nashville legal community.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Nashville Bar Foundation was incorporated in May of 1980 with funds collected by the Nashville Bar Memorial Fund.
The Fellows Program was established in 1991 as a way for the bar to honor its colleagues who have contributed significantly to the community. Devotion to service to the client and to the public interest are hallmarks of the program. Fellows are selected by their colleagues. Each "class" of Fellows is limited to approximately 1% of the bar in Nashville.
