The Williamson County Commission has approved a resolution to name a second floor room in Franklin’s historic courthouse after late Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Cornelia “Connie” Clark, the Tennessean reports. Clark was born in Franklin and lived her entire adult life there. She practiced law in Franklin prior to being appointed a circuit court judge and was also involved in several county nonprofit and civic organizations. "Justice Clark had a widely known reputation for honesty, integrity, impartiality and fairness," the resolution stated. "(She) was a role model to girls and women, as well as to boys and men in Williamson County, Tennessee, as well as across the State of Tennessee and the nation." Clark died in September at the age of 71.
