Judge Chafin at Emory & Henry
Brian May 5th, 2006
The 2006 Emory and Henry College commencement will be Saturday, May 13, 2006, at 10:00 AM. This press release says that Judge Teresa Chafin will be this year’s commencement speaker. The press release also has this short bio of Judge Chafin.
Teresa M. Chafin, a 1978 E&H graduate, was named circuit court judge for Tazewell County in March 2005. Prior to that appointment, she served as chief judge of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court for Russell and Tazewell counties.
. . .
Chafin holds a J.D. degree from the T.C. Williams School of Law at the University of Richmond. She was a practicing attorney with the law firm Chafin and Chafin in Lebanon, Va., before being appointed to her judgeships.
In 2001, the year I graduated, Congressman Rick Boucher was our commencement speaker. In 2002, I think Senator John Warner was the speaker. Last year, Michael Austin, a professional opera singer and member of the Stuttgart Opera Company, delivered the commencement address.
