NASHVILLE (AP) — Six people have applied for a vacant circuit court judgeship in Tennessee.

The Trial Court Vacancy Commission will consider the applicants for the position that covers Montgomery and Robertson counties. Judge Ross H. Hicks is retiring in July, creating the opening.

Smith, municipal court judge; M. Joel Wallace, private practice attorney; and Joseph P. Weyant, private practice attorney.

A public hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. June 2 in Clarksville. The commission is expected to vote immediately following the interviews and forward three names to Gov. Bill Lee for his consideration.
