The Metropolitan Clerk’s Office has opened nominations for a new General Sessions Judge following Judge Jim Todd’s appointment to the Criminal Court Division III, approved by the Metro Council last Thursday. Vice Mayor Henderson announced that both Council members and the public may submit nominations, including self-nominations, as long as candidates meet the legal qualifications under the Metro Charter and state law, according to the Metro Nashville.
All written nominations must be submitted to the Metro Clerk by 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Each nominee will receive a questionnaire and must return it with a resume within three days, or they will be disqualified from consideration, as reported by the Metro Nashville.
The Rules, Confirmations and Public Elections Committee will interview candidates for the open General Sessions Judge position on November 4 to review their qualifications. The Metro Council will vote on November 18 to select a replacement for Judge Jim Todd, who was appointed to the Criminal Court. The nomination process, managed by the Metro Clerk’s Office, includes applications, questionnaires, and interviews, as stated by the Metro Nashville.
