to the Company's Form S-8 Registration Statement (the "Registration
Statement") to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange

registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), by the
Company of an additional 1,500,000 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share, authorized to be granted or issued upon exercise of
stock options to be granted under the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. 1993
Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

As counsel for the Company, we have examined, among other things, such federal
and state laws and originals and/or copies (certified or otherwise identified
to our satisfaction) of such documents, certificates and records as we deemed
necessary and appropriate for the purpose of preparing this opinion.

Based on the foregoing, we hereby inform you that in our opinion the Shares
have been duly and validly authorized for issuance and, when issued in

share, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as part of the Registration
Statement.
