An official investiture ceremony was held for Hamilton County Circuit Court’s newest judge, Jennifer Peck, the Chattanoogan reports. Peck, a native of Chattanooga who grew up on Signal Mountain and attended Baylor School, founded Peck Legal Group after graduating from Auburn University and earning her law degree at Regent University. She later served as deputy commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Commerce before being appointed to the bench by Gov. Bill Lee in May and began hearing cases that month. She fills a vacancy created by the resignation of Judge Michael Dumitru, who recently took office as a new federal magistrate judge in East Tennessee.
