Members of the Tennessee judiciary are remembering retired Knox County Circuit Court Judge Wheeler A. Rosenbalm, who died on April 21. Rosenbalm served as a judge for 22 years, from September 1990 until his retirement in January 2013. Prior to joining the court, Rosenbalm was a partner with the Knoxville law firm of Frantz, McConnell & Seymour LLP. He earned his law degree from the University of Tennessee College of Law, where he also was an instructor and associate professor of law. Judge Deborah C. Stevens, who succeeded Rosenbalm on the bench, said he was “a very good man, a brilliant lawyer and an extremely well-respected judge.” Rosenbalm was a member of the Knoxville Bar Association, and a fellow in the Tennessee Bar Foundation and American College of Trial Lawyers. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.
