Dawn Hardesty, Judge Duncan’s career law clerk, will leave the Court today, August 6, 2021, to begin service as a staff attorney to chapter 13 trustee Pamela Simmons-Beasley. Dawn served as a term clerk 2010-2012, then engaged in private practice, and returned as a career clerk in 2016. She has managed and organized chambers, provided outstanding research and writing, dealt professionally and courteously with the bar, worked with others across the court, district, circuit, and Administrative Office during much of my term as Chief Judge, and been a wonderful counsellor, sounding board, friend, and advisor.  I wish her much success and enjoyment in the next phase of her professional life and am pleased that Dawn will remain a part of the bankruptcy bar.
