The Chattanooga Bar Association has released the results of its annual judicial poll, Chattanoogan.com reports. Local attorneys were asked to rate 17 judges. The news source has the breakdown of approval rates for each judge in four categories: superior legal ability, good moral character, diligence and judicial temperament. Those with the highest rates across all categories were Circuit Court Judge Jeff Hollingsworth, who is not running for re-election; Criminal Court Judges Tom Greenholtz, Barry Steelman and Don Poole, who is retiring; Juvenile Court Judge Rob Philyaw; and General Sessions Court Judge Alex McVeagh.
