George T. “Buck” Lewis, a shareholder in the Memphis office of Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz PC, assumed the presidency of the Tennessee Bar Association last week in Gatlinburg, Tenn.
Lewis, who was elected vice president of the TBA in 2006 and has held the position of president-elect for the past year, is the chair of Baker Donelson’s Appellate Practice Section. In the past, he also has served as the president of the Memphis and Shelby County Bar Foundations.
Lewis focuses his practice on complex business, personal injury, health care and class action litigation.
At last week’s luncheon, Lewis addressed the new access to justice campaign, “4 ALL,” which will educate lawyers and the public on the severity of the need to find newer, easier ways for lawyers to participate in pro bono service.
