Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Mary L. Wagner received a warm welcome to the bench as family, friends, colleagues, elected officials and the judiciary joined her in Germantown for a ceremonial investiture by Gov. Bill Lee. “Justice Wagner is highly qualified and brings significant experience to the Tennessee Supreme Court,” Lee said. “Her understanding and respect for the rule of law and commitment to the conservative principles of judicial restraint make her well-suited for the state’s highest court, and I am proud to celebrate her investiture.” Wagner was confirmed by the Tennessee legislature in March and her term began Sept. 1. She earned her bachelor’s degree at the University of Colorado at Boulder and her law degree at the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law. Wagner fills a vacancy created by the retirement of Justice Roger A. Page. Read more in a press release from the Administrative Office of the Courts and see photos from the event.
