The Tennessee Supreme Court today announced the retirement of Judy Bond-McKissack as executive director of the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal Education. Bond-McKissack has served in the role since January 2011. She previously worked as a Board of Review hearing officer with the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, as chief legal counsel in the Secretary of State’s office, and as managing attorney for the Clarksville office of Legal Services of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands. She earned her law degree from Vanderbilt University. During her time with the commission, Bond-McKissack supervised an office move from the TBA building in downtown Nashville to space near the airport, managed development of a new website, oversaw an extensive revision of Supreme Court Rule 21, pushed for awarding lawyers CLE credit for pro bono representation, implemented a mentoring program, and developed a training program for CLE speakers.
