2023 Memorials

Each year at the June meeting of the Tennessee Judicial Conference, an in-memoriam ceremony is held to remember and celebrate current or former state judges who have recently passed away. The session includes a written remembrance by a judicial colleague. Below is a list of judges honored in recent years as well as the written remembrance. A copy of the remembrances for previous years can be found in archived editions of the Tennessee Decisions
