General Election
I am asking you for the opportunity to be your General Sessions Judge because I believe that I can make a difference. I am running as an independent because, in my opinion, a judge must be impartial without party loyalties. I am a hard worker and I would like the chance to serve as your General Sessions Judge. I would very much appreciate your vote in the August general election.Thank you,Mary K. Longworth

ABOUT ME
EXPERIENCE
My parents were Rev. Orville and Lucy Longworth of Knox County. They are both deceased. I am one of four children. My brother Terry is my campaign manager. I have two nieces and a nephew and a delightful great niece and great nephew. I have lived in Loudon for 23 years. I grew up in west Knox County where I attended Farragut High School and the University of Tennessee. I earned a BS in 1975. I then taught English in the Knox County Schools for five years, four of which were at Farragut High School. I then returned to UT where I completed a doctorate in jurisprudence in 1984. I was licensed and admitted to practice before all Tennessee courts in that same year. I am now in my 26th year of practice. I clerked for the UT General Counsel's Office when I was in law school. I then worked for a Maryville firm first as a clerk and then as an attorney. I initially came to Loudon County when I took a position with William H. Russell who is the current General Sessions Judge. I worked with him for four years. I then worked for the City of Knoxville for almost five years where I prosecuted violations of city ordinances and handled litigation, among other things. Since Dec. 1994 I have managed my own general practice. I was admitted to practice before the U. S. Supreme Court in 1991, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in 1987, and in the federal court for the Eastern District of Tennessee in 1984. I am a past President of the Loudon County Bar Association and a former program chairperson for East Tenn. Lawyers Association for Women (ETLAW). In addition, I have served as a member of the teaching adjunct faculty for Pellissippi State. I also currently serve on the Board of Directors for the Lenoir City/ Loudon County Boys and Girls Club. I have always had a special interest in our youth and have served as attorney or guardian ad litem for many children during my career. I especially hope to have the opportunity to make a contribution to the young people of our county. I currently am a member of Central United Methodist Church in Lenoir City and have the privilege of singing in its chancel choir. I have been active in church all of my life. At various times, I have served as a church clerk, a church organist, an interim pianist, a Sunday school and Bible school teacher. I have chaired several committees and have led Bible studies.On a personal note, I am an avid gardener. I have a vegetable garden and am currently hybridizing day lilies. I also enjoy photography and playing the piano and organ. I am a member of the team that won the Lenoir City Rotary Club's 2009 and 2010 Norton-Spurrier Spelling Bees, which raise money to support the Literacy Council. The Council helps pay for college for qualifying individuals.

The Council helps pay for college for qualifying individuals.
I have almost twenty-six years experience practicing law, including representing individuals, both adults and children, in almost every type of case that occurs in General Sessions Court including domestic, civil, criminal, juvenile, Dept. of Childrens Services, traffic, child support, domestic violence, dog bite, divorce, orders of protection, probate and estate administration, etc. I have also represented clients in Circuit and Chancery Court. In 2004, I was selected by the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility to be a hearing committee panel member to address charges of ethics violations against attorneys. A committee of three acts as a court, which decides the facts and imposes, if applicable, the punishment. This is where the case is basically tried with witnesses giving testimony and evidence being submitted. A committee member also reviews cases, for example, where the allegedly offending attorney and the Board agree as to the disposition of the case and approve or disapprove of the recommendations made by the Board's attorney. Punishment might be a thirty-day suspension of the lawyer from practice, a private admonition, or a reprimand of some sort. I served two terms of three years each on the Tennessee BPR hearing committees, from March 2004 --March 2010. I have also sat a number of times as substitute Judge for the Honorable Judge William Russell and the Honorable Judge John Gibson, the previous judge. In addition, I have served as a prosecutor in Knoxville City Court. I have also handled many cases in the Circuit and Chancery Courts as well as in the Tennessee Courts of Appeal and the Tennessee Supreme Court. Some of my 20+ appellate cases have been published, and at least two of them are leading cases in Tennessee law. The most recent one is Gooden v. Coors Technical Ceramic, 236 S. W. 3d 151 (Tenn. 2007) which decided whether the death of an employee on company premises, under certain, specific circumstances, which included having participated in recreational activity, was compensable. I represented the widow and her children who won. Another one of my leading cases is Gatlin v. City of Knoxville, 822 S. W. 2d 587 (Tenn. 1991), a case involving depression/psychological injury, which allegedly occurred as the result of incidents at work. I represented the City that won. I have also appealed many criminal and civil cases. Approximately six months after I argued one case before the Tennessee Supreme Court, I was attending an East Tenn. Lawyers Assoc. for Women breakfast where members of the Supreme Court were in attendance as special guests. I introduced myself to the then current Chief Justice who replied that he knew who I was. He told me what a good job I had done arguing before the court.
