“Welcome to the unveiling and hanging of Judge Durby,” Judge Clarence Shattuck said to a standing room-only crowd in General Sessions Courtroom Six Wednesday, September 25 as he opened a ceremony lauding the career of the Honorable Ronald W. Durby. The laughter that followed Judge Shattuck’s introduction continued throughout the event as local judges shared stories about the beloved and respected justice. Friends, family, and colleagues attended the unveiling of the portrait of Judge Durby, who served Hamilton County for decades and stepped down from the bench last year due to health reasons. A reception hosted by the Chattanooga Bar Association followed the event. Pictured: Judge Durby, far left, and his family pose with the newly unveiled portrait. Additional photo on page 4.
