The Governor’s Council for Judicial Appointments received only three applications to fill a vacancy on the Court of Criminal Appeals, Eastern Section. As a result, the council will not hold a meeting as previously announced and will forward the applications directly to the governor. The applicants are Sevierville lawyer Bryce William McKenzie, Greenville lawyer Willie Santana and Knoxville lawyer Steven W. Sword. Feedback on any applicant can be submitted to the governor’s legal office at 615-734-8314 or emailed to Katelin.Brown@tn.gov. The deadline for submitting feedback is Jan. 3, 2025. More information about the applicants can be viewed on the Administrative Office of the Court's website.
