TALS Welcomes TSU Interns

Tennessee State University Students spend the summer with TALS

The Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services welcomes two outstanding young interns for summer 2013. Miranda McDonald and Krisyten Petty are undergraduate interns from Tennessee State University (TSU) in Nashville, Tennessee. Both ladies are interested in attending law school and are enjoying being placed at an agency that interacts with the civil legal service agencies across the state of Tennessee.
