Judges from the Chattanooga area, including Judge Lila Statom, Chancellor Pamela Fleenor, Judge L. Marie Williams, Magistrate Kathy Clark and Judge Shelley D. Rucker, served as panelists. The judges spoke about their journeys to the bench, including professional and personal challenges they have faced during their careers. The panelists also offered guidance on how women can achieve successful legal careers and provided tips on best practices as litigators.
