Gov. Bill Lee this week appointed Stanley “Stan” Kweller as a circuit judge in Davidson County’s 20th Judicial District. Kweller, a Nashville family law attorney, will fill the vacancy left by the death of Judge Phil Smith last year. Kweller was most recently a solo practioner and attorney at Watkins & McNeilly. Earlier in his career, he was a prosecutor in East Tennessee. He attended Emory University and University of Tennessee College of Law. Other finalists selected by the Trial Court Vacancy Commission were Stephanie Williams, special master in Smith’s court, and Nashville attorney Audrey Anderson.
