Joshua Hedrick had the opportunity to spend time with 4th and 5th grade students at Belle Morris Elementary School during their career fair recently. From courtroom questions to conversations about what lawyers actually do, it was a great chance to talk with students about advocacy, responsibility, and the role the legal system plays in our communities.

We’re always grateful for opportunities to encourage curiosity, answer questions, and spend time with the next generation right here in Knoxville.
