From electjudgeabbott.com:

"There’s a reason Gov. Bill Lee appointed Judge Emily F. Abbott to the bench last fall: She knows the law. After two decades prosecuting crime, Judge Abbott has a deep understanding of all the ins and outs of the Tennessee criminal legal system.  

Judge Abbott knows that justice isn’t about feelings — it’s about facts. Every person has the same constitutional right to a fair trial. Judge Abbott applies the law impartially and ethically, without bias, protecting the rights of both defendants and victims. 

Judge Abbott also believes that preventing crime is the best strategy for a safer community. She is committed to expanding the services offered by Knox County Specialized Courts, which treat addiction and mental health issues to increase public safety."
