The Tennessee Bar Association announces that 33 attorneys from across the state have been selected for its 2020 Leadership Law program. The attorneys selected from the Chattanooga area are Stephen Adams, Matt Brock, Michael Dumitru, Samantha Lunn and Charlotte Mattingly.

Now in its seventeenth year, Leadership Law is designed to equip Tennessee lawyers with the vision, knowledge and skills necessary to serve as leaders in their profession and local communities.
