Tennessee Judges Meet Virtually for Online Fall Conference

Posted by: Kate Prince on Oct 22, 2020

The Tennessee Judicial Conference met virtually for its annual fall meeting this month, marking the first conference the group has held since March. TJC President and 26th Judicial District Circuit Court Judge Roy Morgan opened the conference with a quote he recently read which he felt summed up the transition to a virtual meeting: “Change is the law of life.” Administrative Office of the Courts Director Deborah Taylor Tate highlighted the high court’s June statement on its commitment to equal justice under the law. She also gave a snapshot of the work Tennessee courts have done in recent months, including 6,512 Zoom sessions since April, $500,000 in personal protective equipment for the courts, nearly 300 livestreamed appellate arguments and more. Tennessee Supreme Court Chief Justice Jeff Bivins also spoke during the conference, commending the judges on their work to keep the courts open and functioning.
