The Tennessee Supreme Court recognized Attorney General Herbert Slatery III today for his service to the state. Slatery, who was appointed as attorney general in 2014, is retiring at the end of the day today. Prior to being named attorney general, Slatery served as chief legal officer to then-Gov. Bill Haslam and was in private practice with the Knoxville firm of Egerton, McAfee, Armistead & Davis. In a statement, Tennessee Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Page said Slatery “leaves the office in an excellent position and has served his state well.” The court has named Jonathan Skrmetti as the next attorney general.
