The Court is composed of five members: a chief justice, and four justices. As of September 1, 2023[update], the chief justice is Holly M. Kirby.[1]
Unlike other states, in which the state attorney general is directly elected or appointed by the governor or state legislature, the Tennessee Supreme Court appoints the Tennessee Attorney General.[2]
