The Tennessee Supreme Court on Feb. 24 will re-hear arguments in two cases that were originally argued last year before the death of Justice Connie Clark. Justice Sarah Campbell, who was recently confirmed to the high court earlier this month, has recused herself from both cases. Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, et al. v. Tennessee Department of Education, et al., an interlocutory appeal involving a challenge to Gov. Bill Lee’s Education Savings Account Pilot program, will begin at 9 a.m. CST. Special Justice Thomas R. Frierson, II, has been appointed to participate in that case. Immediately following is State of Tennessee v. Tyshon Booker, involving a constitutional challenge to juvenile life sentences. Special Justice William C. Koch Jr. has been appointed to serve on that case.
