Justice Roger PageTennessee Supreme Court Justice Roger A. Page has notified Gov. Bill Lee that he will retire at the end of August. Page was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2016, and served as chief justice from 2021 to 2023. During that time, he helped secure substantial funding to implement enterprise e-filing for the court system, improving efficiency and data collection and analysis. Page also promoted access to justice and pro bono service, and encouraged greater transparency and efficiency in the judiciary with live streaming of appellate arguments. “Justice Page has made a huge contribution to Tennessee's justice system, first as a trial judge handling both civil and criminal cases, then on the Court of Criminal Appeals and now on the Supreme Court," Chief Justice Holly Kirby said. “He is thoughtful and deliberate, and he brings wisdom and common sense to the serious issues we must decide.” Read more about Page’s career from the Administrative Office of the Courts.
