Judge Kennedy Eyes August Retirement

Posted by: Stacey Shrader Joslin on Mar 30, 2022

As 20th Judicial District Circuit Court Judge David Randall Kennedy eyes his upcoming retirement in August, he is reflecting on his 19 years on the bench. From dealing with would-be country music stars to Zoom mishaps during the pandemic, Kennedy says serving on the court has been a blessing. He has handled “more conservator cases than any other judge in Tennessee” and says it is an honor to help those who can no longer care for themselves. Prior to being appointed to the court, Kennedy was in private practice at Kennedy & Brown. He also served two terms on the Metro Nashville Council. He earned his law degree from the Nashville School of Law in 1977. After Aug. 31, he says he will support his successor, spend quality time with his wife and travel more. The Administrative Office of the Courts looks back at his career.
