Rutherford County attorney Andrae Crismon yesterday announced his candidacy for juvenile court judge, WGNS Radio reports. Crismon recently announced his departure from the Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands where he worked for nearly 15 years, serving eight years as managing attorney and finally as director of the Volunteer Lawyers Program. If elected, Crismon says he would “use every opportunity possible to provide a road map for the restoration of youth who have committed an offense,” and would implement a C.A.R.E platform – communication, adjudication, restoration and education. Crismon is pastor at Higher Ground Worship Center in Murfreesboro and has served on the board of directors for Greenhouse Ministries, Doors of Hope, and Matthew Walker Comprehensive Health Center. He is the Middle Tennessee delegate on the TBA’s Access to Justice Committee and a member of the TBA Leadership Law program’s 2015 class.
