CLARKSVILLE, TN – Gregory D. Smith, a Clarksville attorney and the Municipal Judge for Pleasant View, has recently been elected a Fellow of the Tennessee Bar Foundation, an association of 850 attorneys across the state.
Invitations to membership, which is a position of honor, were extended to 29 attorneys by the Board of Trustees. The introduction of new Fellows took place at the annual Fellows’ Dinner in Nashville.
The Bar Foundation’s purpose is two-fold: to recognize attorneys who have distinguished themselves in the community and the profession and to administer a grant making program. That project, known by its acronym “IOLTA” (Interest On Lawyers’ Trust Accounts), has awarded grants in excess of $27,000,000 to law-related, public interest projects throughout Tennessee.
Smith has been practicing law in Clarksville for over 35 years and served as the Pleasant View City Judge for over 25 years. He is a 1985 graduate of Middle Tennessee State University and a 1988 graduate of Cumberland School of Law at Samford University.
