Knox County Chancellor John F. Weaver received the “Courage in the Face of Adversity Award” from the Knoxville Bar Association (KBA) during the group’s recent annual meeting. The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) reports on the debilitating injuries Weaver suffered to both of his legs in an accident last March, and how he “had to get creative” in managing his court docket during recovery. The award is presented periodically to a member of the KBA who “exhibits exceptional courage, charity, grace, unselfishness and professionalism in the face of adversity.” Other awards presented at the meeting were highlighted in a previous story.
