Political Quotes

On the recordOctober 20, 2003
today I wanted to take time to honor one of Tennessee's most accomplished Memphians, Judge Kay Spaulding Robilio of the U.S. Circuit Court, Division 5, 30th Judicial District. For more than 20 years of dedicated service as a judge and the 2002- 2003 president of the Tennessee Lawyers' Association for Women, Judge Robilio has committed her life to the pursuit of justice and equality for all. She has helped open the way for women interested in serving on the bench and in public office. And as a mother and volunteer, her dedication to the community extends beyond her profession. Her dedication to exploring legal issues surrounding emotional abuse claims is helping expand recognition of the problem and establishes her as a true pioneer. Judge Robilio is an asset to Memphis and a shining light in our legal community. I want to thank Kay for her decades of service and let her know we look forward to many more years of legal excellence and integrity from her court.
