Hi, I’m Alan Rawls, and I’m an attorney in Knoxville, Tennessee, practicing in civil litigation. I started this blog as a space for discussing the latest developments in areas of law that interest me, and I hope you enjoy some of the posts that I’ve put together.

About

Law is about more than statutes, courtrooms, and people dressed in suits—it is the foundation of rights, responsibilities, and the principles that govern our society. This blog is dedicated to exploring the complexities of civil rights, constitutional law, litigation, professional responsibility of lawyers, and the evolving landscape of justice. Here, you’ll find analysis of legal developments, commentary on major cases (particularly in Tennessee, the Sixth Circuit, and the Supreme Court), and insights into how the law shapes—and is shaped by—the world around us.

My hope is to make legal concepts accessible without sacrificing depth. Whether you are a practitioner, a student, or someone who simply values fairness and accountability, this space offers some clarity in a field often clouded by complexity.
