The Tennessee Bar Foundation recently selected outstanding attorneys from across the state to induct as fellows.  Beth S. Bates, TLAW President Elect, was among the chosen few.  Bates is a Senior Staff Attorney at West Tennessee Legal Services where she concentrates on Social Security disability, Tennessee Medicaid medical services appeals, and Food Stamp/SNAP program outreach.  Bates has worked at West Tennessee Legal Services for over 20 years. 

The Tennessee Bar Foundation chooses attorneys who have contributed to public interest projects.  Those selected for this honor are attorneys who have been licensed for at least ten years and who have demonstrated an uncompromised dedication to integrity and high personal and professional standards; made outstanding and recognized contributions to the legal profession and to the public good; and who have demonstrated a strong commitment to the published objectives and purposes of the Tennessee Bar Foundation. 

Congratulations, Beth, on such an honor!
