(Jackson, Miss.) Dec. 18, 2015 — Governor Phil Bryant announced today that he has appointed Tupelo attorney Terrill K. “T.K.” Moffett chancery judge in Northeast Mississippi’s First Judicial District.

Moffett succeeds Judge Talmadge Littlejohn, who passed away in October. Because more than half of Littlejohn’s term remained, there will be a special election to fill the seat next November.

Moffett, who owns Moffett Law Firm, PLLC, in Tupelo, has practiced law for 35 years, while pursuing a dual military career. He received a bachelor’s of science degree from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1971.

Moffett is admitted to practice in Mississippi and Alabama. During law school, he taught American government at Itawamba Community College and Northwest Community College and political science at the University of Mississippi. He also taught Mississippi rules of civil procedure as an adjunct professor at the University of Mississippi’s Tupelo campus.

“Mr. Moffett’s educational and professional credentials will serve the people of the First District well,” Governor Bryant said. “I am thankful he has agreed to serve on the chancery bench.”
