The Tennessee Supreme Court has announced its process for interviewing the six applicants for attorney general and reporter. The court will begin its consideration of the candidates on Aug. 8 in the Nashville Supreme Court Building, starting at 9:30 a.m. CDT. The proceedings also will be livestreamed on the court’s YouTube channel. The day will start with a general overview of the process. Then each applicant will have 10 minutes to introduce himself to the court. After introductions, members of the public may speak in opposition to any applicant for three minutes, and applicants will have three minutes to respond. The court will then conduct formal interviews of each applicant. At the end of the interview process, the court will deliberate on next steps. The process is expected to conclude on Aug. 9, pending completion of background checks.
