Professor Gray retired as a member of the University of Tennessee College
of Law during the summer of 2001. During his 28 years as a member of the
faculty, Prof. Gray was involved in the practice of mediation and in programs
in which law students mediated cases before Tennessee courts and federal,
state, and local government agencies. During 1999-2000 Professor Gray
served as draftsman for the Tennessee Title 33 Revision Commission, which
comprehensively revised the title. The code on services to mentally ill
and developmentally disabled people which he authored was enacted as Tennessee
Public Chapter 947 on June 23, 2000. The title contains new statutes in
Normalized form that facilitate the development of legal expert systems.
Professor Gray co-wrote the mediation manual that is currently in use
by the Knox County General Sessions Court. He also has an interest in
legal expert systems and has been published in the John Marshall Journal
of Computer and Information Law, Jurimetrics Journal, and the Journal
for the Integrated Study of Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science
and Applied Epistemology. Professor Gray received the Loevinger Prize
from Jurimetrics Journal, the Bass, Berry & Sims Faculty Award for Service
to the Bench and Bar, and a Chancellor’s Citation for Extraordinary Community
Service.
