The Governor’s Council for Judicial Appointments is now accepting applications for the Court of Criminal Appeals vacancy that will occur if the general assembly confirms Gov. Bill Haslam’s appointment of Roger A. Page to the Supreme Court.
Any interested applicant must be a licensed attorney who is at least 30 years of age, a resident of the state for five years, and a resident of the Western Tennessee Grand Division. Applicants must complete the designated application, which is available at www.tncourts.gov, and submit it to the Administrative Office of the Courts before Friday, February 26 at noon CST.
All applicants also will be required to complete prior to the meeting date a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Level II Security Clearance Application. Candidates should not submit the security application to the TBI, merely complete it and bring the completed application to the interview. The application is available online from the TBI’s website at:
