Belmont Law Review

Volume 7, Issue 1 (2021)

Since its inception in 2012, the Belmont Law Review has enthusiastically sought to create and preserve a platform for intellectual exchange on topics affecting the legal profession. The members of this student-managed, student-edited scholarly journal dedicate themselves to facilitating, promoting, and engaging in valuable legal discourse through the Review's annual symposium, events, and publications.

In Volume 7, the Review marks its second year of biannual publication. Issue 1 of this volume contains an exciting array of legal topic written by professors, attorneys, and students alike. The Review extends its sincere thanks to the authors for their investment of time and scholarly contributions to which the pages of this issue are a clear testament.

The Review also wishes to express its appreciation for the commitment of the Belmont University College of Law faculty, staff, and administration in supporting and advancing the Review's purposes. We extend particular gratitude to Professor Jeffrey Omar Usman, whose continued help and counsel has been instrumental in guiding the Review through its seventh year.

Lastly, I would personally like to thank our dedicated staff of editors who have worked tirelessly to ensure the quality of this publication and without whom this issue would not be possible. Should our successors follow your lead, I am confident that the Review will have a bright and promising future.
