Attorney Matt Wilson was confirmed yesterday by the General Assembly as the newest member of the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals – Western Section. Wilson was appointed by Gov. Bill Lee in January after a lengthy application process that included a public hearing. He fills the vacancy left after the passing of Judge John Everett Williams in September 2022. Wilson was sworn in as a judge immediately after his confirmation. He has most recently served as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, a position he has held since 2011.
