Tennessee Eastern Bankruptcy Court Judge Shelley Rucker retired on April 1. A graduate of Texas Christian University and the University of Georgia School of Law, Rucker joined Miller & Martin in Chattanooga in 1983 and remained with the firm for 27 years. She was one of Miller & Martin’s first female partners and served as the chair of the firm’s bankruptcy practice group, playing a key role in many large Chapter 11 cases. Rucker was appointed to the bench in 2010. The Hamilton County Herald has this tribute to her long career.
