Belmont Law Review

Volume 8, Issue 2 (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.

Issue 2 of this volume comprises the scholarly work showcased at the January 2021 Symposium on Contemporary Issues in Administrative Law. This was the Review's first ever virtual symposium. The Review extends its gratitude to the presenters and panelists for their investment of time and their willingness to participate in our virtual event. Additionally, the Review extends its sincerest thanks to all of our authors for their scholarly contributions as well as the opportunity to publish these intriguing pieces.

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 goals and intentions. We extend particular gratitude to Professor Jeffrey Omar Usman, whose continued help and counsel has been vital in guiding the Review throughout its eight-year history

Lastly, I would like to thank our dedicated team of editors. This year was unlike any other year in the Review's history. Despite the unique challenges that came with publishing a scholarly journal and hosting a symposium during a pandemic, this team continued to work tirelessly to ensure the quality of this publication and the symposium remined at the highest level. I am extremely thankful for the hard work that each member put into this issue and our virtual event.
