On August 29, Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey announced that Bart Quinn, a labor and employment law attorney at Chambliss, Bahner & Stophel, will fill a vacancy on Tennessee's Judicial Nominating Commission.
The primary responsibility of the Judicial Nominating Commission is to review applicants for judicial vacancies on the state trial and appellate courts. From the applicants, the commission makes recommendations to the governor, who then makes an appointment to fill the vacancy.
Mr. Quinn is "an outstanding lawyer committed to an exemplary judiciary. I’m proud to appoint him and have every expectation that he will strengthen Tennessee’s judiciary," said Lt. Gov. Ramsey in a news release.
Tennessee is "an outstanding state which deserves outstanding judges," said Mr. Quinn, who went on to say that he is honored that Lt. Gov. Ramsey is allowing him to "contribute to the improvement of our judiciary."
Mr. Quinn practices primarily in the areas of employment law and workers’ compensation and has represented several large corporations in the defense of various employment discrimination lawsuits and other related litigation. He was recently appointed Chairman of the Chattanooga Transportation Board and is a former member of the Hamilton County Election Commission.
