Several University of Nashville art students submitted work for the 2019 Law Day Essay and Art contest sponsored by the Nashville Bar Association. Open to students in the Nashville area in grades 9-12, the contest asked students to creatively express their ideas about living in a society that is governed by the rule of law. This year’s theme was "Free Speech, Free Press, Free Society.” Talented USN student-artists swept the awards.
