March 15, 2011

Tennessee: Attorney Joe DeGaetano has filed election papers to run for the seat on the Hamilton County General Sessions Court created by the death of judge Robert L. Moon in January of this year. The vacant position has been filled on an interim basis with an August 2nd election slated to fill the seat. DeGaetano says, "I want to serve the people of Hamilton County as General Sessions Judge because I have the energy, patience, and knowledge of the law necessary to render fair, unbiased, and accurate decisions in the very busy environment of General Sessions Court." DeGaetano has worked in private practice in addition to being appointed by a senior judge on the United States court of appeals to advise and consult on cases ranging from money laundering to murder.
