About Morgan E
Morgan E Smith built an uncommon early résumé. She finished a classics degree at New College of Florida in 2000 and earned her J.D. from Vanderbilt University Law School in 2007. Those years set a steady course. They moved her from scholarly study of ancient texts to the practical work of modern courts.
Her first notable legal position came abroad. In 2008 she served as a clerk in the Office of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. That role exposed her to complex procedural work and international legal institutions. She returned to domestic practice the next year and took a supervising lawyer position in DHS - Conciliation and Hearings in 2009. The job involved administrative hearings and dispute resolution in a government setting.
Smith then joined Dundon+Smith in 2010 as a member lawyer. A year later she established her own practice and has been listed as the managing lawyer of The Law Office of Morgan Smith since 2011. Those steps moved her from institutional roles into private practice and firm leadership. She handles filings and litigation across multiple courts and oversees firm operations.
She is licensed to appear in courts in Tennessee and the District of Columbia, and she is admitted to practice before the Sixth Circuit. Professional affiliations run from local bar committees to national plaintiff-oriented groups. Smith has been active in the Nashville Bar Association since 2010, serving as Committee Chair for LRIS and participating in CLE committee work. She joined the Tennessee Bar Association in 2008 and has held membership in the American Association for Justice since 2015. From 2012 to the present she has served as Secretary of RAN. She was also a member of TENNELA from 2013 through 2015.
Colleagues describe her work as steady and meticulous. Her background includes administrative hearings, prosecutorial clerkship work at an international tribunal, and private litigation practice. Those experiences have given her a broad perspective on procedure and advocacy. She combines courtroom experience with administrative law practice and firm management.
Smith maintains an office listed at 1222 16th Ave S Ste 23. Her practice handles matters across the jurisdictions where she is authorized to appear, and she continues to manage the operations of The Law Office of Morgan Smith.
