Judson Kyle “Judd” Davis was sworn in as Knox County General Sessions Judge, Division 2, at the end of December and took office on Jan. 4. He was appointed by the Knox County Commission due to the early retirement of Judge Geoffrey P. Emery, who served on the bench for more than 35 years. Davis previously worked in the Knox County District Attorney's office, where he served as a prosecutor in all criminal divisions of general sessions court as well as the county criminal courts. Before joining the district attorney’s office in 2016, Davis worked in the law offices of Banks and Jones, where he defended both criminal and civil law matters. Knoxnews has more on the appointment and what it means for the 2022 election.
