The Tennessee Supreme Court recently announced it has appointed 26th Judicial District Circuit Court Judge Roy B. Morgan Jr. as senior judge, effective Sept. 1. Morgan will retire from his current position on Aug. 31 and assume his new role for a term of four years. He was first elected to the circuit court bench in 1998, winning reelection campaigns in 2006 and 2014. Prior to this position, Morgan served as a general sessions court judge in Madison County for eight years. “At the end of this term, I will have served 32 years as a member of the judiciary,” Morgan said. “What an honor it has been to serve for so many years. The Senior Judge appointment by the Supreme Court gives me an opportunity to slow down a little while still being able to continue to serve the justice system and the citizens of our state.”
