The General Sessions Judges Conference has selected late Coffee County General Sessions Judge Timothy R. Brock as this year’s recipient of the Leon Ruben Award for Excellence. The award is given annually to a judge or judges for their outstanding service to the community, the conference and the judiciary as a whole. Brock presided over Coffee County Drug Recovery Courts, Mental Health Court, Family Treatment Court, Juvenile Recovery Court and the Safe Baby Court. He passed away unexpectedly in November 2019. Henry County General Sessions Court Judge Vicki S. Snyder, who said Brock was like a brother to her, presented the award to his family. The award is named for the late Judge Leon Ruben, who served as judge for 37 years in Nashville. The Administrative Office of the Courts has more.
