What you Need to Know About Tennessee Public Records and Open Meetings

 

Understand the Tennessee open meetings and public records laws and how they apply to you.

The Tennessee public records law grants citizens access to governmental documents and helps ensure transparency in governmental affairs. Many practitioners, however, find the actual mechanics of the records requests to be a maze of complicated, confusing, and seemingly contradictory statutes and terminology. You will get an inside track on the current state of the development of public records law in Tennessee, the potential pitfalls for both requestors and custodians, and the hot new topics in this rapidly developing area of the law.
