Gov. Bill Lee issued a proclamation last month designating August as “Justice Roger A. Page” month in honor of the 26 years of service given by Justice Page, who is retiring at the end of the month. Page is a Chester County native who graduated from the University of Memphis School of Law  in 1984. He served as an assistant state attorney general in Jackson and was later sworn in as circuit court judge in the 26th Judicial District, where he presided over both civil and criminal trials in Chester, Henderson and Madison counties. Page joined the Tennessee Supreme Court in 2106 after being unanimously confirmed by the Tennessee General Assembly, the first justice to receive that level of support. “Justice Page leaves a legacy of dedicated and tireless work as a trial judge, as an intermediate appellate judge and as Justice and Chief Justice on the Tennessee Supreme Court, with his innate intelligence reflected in his decisions,” the proclamation states. Chester County Independent has the story.
