The Knoxville Bar Association (KBA) has released the results of its candidate survey for the positions of Knox County law director and Knox County Criminal Court Division II judge. Both offices will be on the ballot on March 5 for the Knox County Primary Election. The KBA reports that all candidates, whether opposed or not, were evaluated. Members of the association were asked to evaluate whether the candidates have demonstrated the knowledge, skill, experience, training, education, professional ethics and temperament to fulfill the duties of the offices they seek and rate them as follows: strongly recommend, recommend, do not recommend, strongly do not recommend and do not know well enough to rate candidate. The KBA also has developed a “Get To Know Your Judicial Candidates” section on its website to provide information about the candidates.
