Constitution Day and Citizenship Day

On September 17, 2019, the Court celebrated Constitution Day and Citizenship Day by presiding over the naturalization of over one hundred new citizens. Joining the judges and new citizens for the occasion were City of Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland, Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris, and members of East High School's Army JROTC Color Guard and Lady Decibel Choir. The Court was honored to have its own U.S. Magistrate Judge Tu Pham, himself a naturalized U.S. Citizen, share with the attendees his own journey to becoming a U.S. Citizen.
