December 30, 2006 Tennessee Supreme Court

The Tennessee Judicial Selection Commission is scheduled to meet on January 24 to pick a third nominee for the vacancy on the Tennessee Supreme Court.

The Commission is acting in response to Chancellor Ellen Hobbs Lyle's recent ruling.

The third nominee will join Judge D'Army Bailey and Judge William C. Koch, Jr. on a second panel of candidates for the vacancy.

Governor Bredesen will then appoint one of the three to the Supreme Court.

On a different track, the two candidates who were on the first panel that was rejected by Governor Bredesen when a minority candidate withdrew are appealing Lyle's ruling.
