Brandon K. Fisher, Anderson County Juvenile Court judge, will discuss children and the courts during a Monday forum hosted by the Women’s Interfaith Dialogue.
The forum starts at 11 a.m. Monday, and it will be held at the Jewish Congregation of Oak Ridge at 101 W. Madison Lane, a press release said.
Fisher has served in the Juvenile Court since his appointment to the bench in January 2010. He replaced April Meldrum after she resigned, and he was elected to position in August 2010. Prior to his appointment, he was a partner in the law firm of Cantrell, Cantrell, and Fisher, where he engaged in a general practice of law with an emphasis on civil litigation.
“Serving as Anderson County juvenile judge has been the most rewarding experience of my professional life,” Fisher said in an earlier press release. “I am proud of our efforts to improve outcomes for children and families.”
He received his law degree from the University of Tennessee and a bachelor’s degree in international politics and security from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. He is a member of the national and Tennessee Councils of Juvenile and Family Court Judges and has participated on numerous panels regarding juvenile law and the role of the court. He is a regular guest of the Children’s Defense Fund, where he is currently working on the issues of zero tolerance and restorative justice.
Fisher lives in Clinton with his wife Jena and their daughter, Audrey.
The Monday forum is free and open to the public.
