The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee welcomed Rachel Ralston Mancl as a newly appointed bankruptcy judge for the district, Chattanoogan.com reports. District Judge Clifton L. Corker administered the oath of office to Mancl in a private ceremony. Mancl, who was selected by the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this month, will serve as the primary judge for the Greeneville Division. She succeeds Chief Judge Shelley D. Rucker, who has been the acting bankruptcy judge in Greeneville since former Chief Bankruptcy Judge Marcia Phillips Parsons retired in September 2020. Prior to her appointment, Mancl was in private practice at Hunter, Smith & Davis, with offices in Johnson City and Kingsport. Mancl is a former member of the TBA Board of Governors, former TBA Young Lawyers Division president and a former president of the Kingsport Bar Association. A public investiture will take place in the coming months, the court said in a release today.
