It is always a pleasure to see outstanding local citizens honored for good reasons that positively affect our whole community.
Such is the case of General Sessions Court Judge Christie Mahn Sell, who has been chosen for the 2010 Leadership Award presented by the Tennessee Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence.
It is unfortunate there are so many problems of domestic and sexual violence in our society. Sell does a conscientious job in her position to protect people in need.
She was nominated for her efforts in developing a pilot plan concerning domestic violence in Hamilton County.
She is to be commended for her efforts in dealing with this very serious social and legal problem.
