FEDERAL COURT CLERK TERRY DEPPNER
On August 25, Terry Deppner retired after 41 years of outstanding service in the Clerk’s Office for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of WV. Pictured above are Chief Judge Robert “Chuck” Chambers and Terry during a ceremony that was held at the Robert C. Byrd Federal Courthouse in Charleston.
During her many years as Clerk, Terry was a national leader in Federal Court administration, technology advances and supporting the federal judiciary. In addition, she and her extremely competent staff members provided valuable guidance and assistance to lawyers, law office personnel and the general public on anything and everything relating to the Federal Courts in the Southern District.
A large crowd of state and federal judges, lawyers, friends and family attended the ceremony. Tributes and candid remarks were made by members of the judiciary, lawyers and staff leaders to commemorate Terry’s superb career of public service.
Congratulations to Terry Deppner for a job very well done!
