Russell Fowler
Russell Fowler has recently been elected a fellow of the Tennessee Bar Foundation, an association of 850 attorneys across the state.
Invitations to membership 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.
Mr.
Fowler is a graduate of the University of Memphis and the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law. He currently serves as director of Litigation and Advocacy at Legal Aid of East Tennessee.
