Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee today announced the appointment of Sarah K. Campbell to the Tennessee Supreme Court to fill a vacancy created by the death of Justice Cornelia A. Clark. Her nomination must be approved by the General Assembly. Campbell currently serves as the state’s associate solicitor general and special assistant to Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III. In that role she has represented Tennessee before the state Supreme Court, the U.S. Courts of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court. She previously worked for Williams & Connolly LLP in Washington, D.C. Campbell earned a bachelor’s degree at the University of Tennessee and both a master’s degree in public policy and a law degree at Duke University. Following law school, she clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Judge William H. Pryor Jr. of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
