Judge Peter Frech was sworn in July 8 in Nashville as the newest judge on the Court of Workers’ Compensation Claims. He was appointed in April to replace Judge Thomas Wyatt of Chattanooga, who retired at the end of June. A blog post from the court noted that Frech brings diverse experience and dedication to the bench. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a military police corrections specialist, graduated with a degree in political science from Middle Tennessee State University, and earned his law degree with a concentration in advocacy and dispute resolution from the University of Tennessee (now Winston) College of Law. Frech will hear cases in both the Nashville and Murfreesboro offices.
