Letter: Anderson County Bar Association wants to name law library after Billy Sams

Editor’s note: The Anderson County Bar Association and legal community is proceeding with an effort to name the Anderson County Law Library after Billy Sams because “you never saw him without a book in his hands.” Here is a copy of a Jan. 11 letter to attorneys from Oak Ridge attorney Lauren Biloski.

Dear Counsel,

As many of you are aware, Billy Sams passed away unexpectedly on January 7, 2017.

His passing will darken our legal community, and our courtrooms will be much quieter without Billy’s signature jovial chuckle that we all loved to hear. Perhaps one of Billy’s most memorable quality was his love of books and reading. He never failed to share a quote or his new favorite story, and he was almost never seen without a book in his hands. Billy waited patiently for his case to be called, engrossed in a historical novel, and still somehow was more aware of what the Court was saying then most of us that were paying attention.

I believe it would be a fair assumption to say that Billy Sams was one of the most loved and adored members of the Anderson County Bar Association. His joy and zest for life and learning was felt by all. As a way to keep Billy’s memory alive and honor a compassionate advocate, several members of the Bar have proposed to dedicate and name the Anderson County Bar Association Law Library after Mr. Billy Paul Sams.

Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands, Tennessee’s largest nonprofit law firm, announced on Monday that it has promoted Janet Mynatt to managing attorney of the Oak Ridge office. Mynatt is replacing former Managing Attorney Neil McBride, who retired this month after 35 years of service.

Mynatt joined Legal Aid Society as a staff attorney at the Oak Ridge office in 2001. In 2005-06, she was awarded a John G. Brooks Consumer Law Fellowship through the National Legal Aid and Defender Association and the National Consumer Law Center. She graduated from the Tennessee Bar Association’s Leadership Law Program in 2009 and served as president of the Anderson County Bar Association in 2011.

“Janet is an outstanding attorney and natural leader—the perfect person to fill the big shoes of Neil McBride, who has managed the Oak Ridge office since 1978,” said Gary Housepian, executive director of Legal Aid Society. “She has helped many, many people in the Oak Ridge area throughout her time at Legal Aid Society and has been an active member of the community. I have no doubt that our Oak Ridge office will continue to have a significant impact in Oak Ridge and throughout the surrounding region under Janet’s leadership.” [Read more…]
