Anyone interested must be a licensed attorney at least 30 years old, a state resident for five years and a resident of the Middle Tennessee Grand Division.

Applications must be submitted to the Administrative Office of the Courts by noon on Oct. 6. Applicants will be interviewed remotely sometime in late October. Those hearings will be livestreamed online.
