Posted by: Stacey Shrader Joslin on Jul 12, 2023

Williamson County Circuit Judge Michael W. Binkley will retire Sept. 29, after serving 11 years on the bench and 35 years as a trial lawyer in private practice, the Nashville Post reports. When asked why he would retire after winning re-election to an eight-year term last year, Binkley said he has other things that he wants to do with his life. “I have thoroughly enjoyed being a trial judge for the last 11 years,“ he said. “Going forward, I look forward to opportunities in my life, inside the law and, mostly, outside of the law.” According to the Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts, applications to fill the vacancy will be accepted until July 26. The Trial Court Vacancy Commission will meet on Aug. 31 to consider applicants.
