The investiture and swearing-in ceremony for incoming Tennessee Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Page has been postponed until the fall. Page was elected to the position last week by his colleagues on the high court. He was set to be sworn in by Justice Connie Clark at a small ceremony tomorrow, the same day his term as chief justice begins, but will instead take the oath privately. Page is the first chief justice from rural West Tennessee in 27 years. Former Chief Justice Lyle Reid of Brownsville served in the role from 1990 until 1994. Page succeeds Justice Jeff Bivins, who has served in that role since 2016. The Administrative Office of the Courts has more.
