Circuit Court Judge Thomas W. Graham of the 12th Judicial District officially retired on June 30, but will remain on the bench until his successor takes over Sept. 1. Graham was elected to the court in 1990 and went on to serve four terms. Among the notable cases he heard was Tennessee's first DNA case and one of the first cases decided after the Tennessee Supreme Court adopted comparative fault. He also was the first and only judge to bring Court TV to a Tennessee courtroom. The Administrative Office of the Courts has more on his career, which also included service in the TBA House of Delegates.
