Davidson County Night Court Magistrate John Manson last week announced his intentions to run for the county’s Division 7 Circuit Court, the Tennessee Tribune reports. Manson began practicing law at Nashville’s oldest African American law firm, Manson Johnson Conner PLLC. He has served as a judicial officer for more than 12 years, serving in domestic, civil, probate, environmental and criminal courts. “I believe that my experience dealing with the citizens of Nashville during particularly unpleasant moments in life makes me uniquely qualified for this role,” Manson said. He seeks to fill the vacancy that will be made when current Division 7 Judge Randy Kennedy retires next year.
