I write to show my support for Jim Exum as the next Circuit Court judge. I have litigated dozens of civil rights cases over the past two decades where I sought redress for citizens abused by government officials. During those years I have encountered defense counsel from many parts of Tennessee and Georgia. Among those attorneys who stand out at the top of their game is Jim Exum.
I found Jim to be the epitome of an ethical and congenial opponent.
While giving me fits in my prosecution of civil rights lawsuits, Jim acted and continues to act as a gentleman and a colleague. He is always well prepared, displays an impressive grasp of the law, has an excellent work ethic, and he knows how to respond to difficult litigants with Jobian patience. These are qualities necessary for anyone to hold the very important office of Judge.
I am happy to know him as a worthy opponent and a fellow attorney, and I support him. I hope you will too.

Well stated, attorney Flores.
From a citizen perspective, I view Jim Exum as a person with community spirit in actions, not words. Exum is never seeking credit for his good deeds and work. There are a lot of candidates hyper inflating their credentials and experience, not Exum.
Seems to me when you lay attorney credentials on the table, it is mostly equal. What separates judicial candidates for me is experience and their actions. Jim Exum is extraordinarily experienced and has shown he will take on the hard cases, and return calls for help. Exum has been a constant presence in the local courts, and has a spirit for justice. He has aspired to serve in a judgeship awaiting the longer judicial terms, and has earned the position. I mean that with all sincerity, Jim Exum has earned this judgeship opportunity. Let’s give him the job.
I believe that a tempered representative is the best for Lady Justice. It is so sweet seeing their young family on the go, lots of love there.
Please vote for Jim Exum for Circuit Court Judge.
