The Tennessee Legal System

If you’re heading to court in Cocke County, you should know that Tennessee’s legal system includes four trial courts. The Circuit Courts, as courts of general jurisdiction, handle civil and criminal matters and hear appeals from the courts with limited jurisdiction. The Chancery Courts exclusively hear civil cases and generally handle cases that fall outside the traditional common-law actions. The Criminal Courts, located in 13 of TN’s 31 judicial districts, serve as relief for heavy caseloads in other courts, hearing criminal cases and misdemeanor appeals from the lower courts.

Finally, the Probate Court hears individual estate cases but only operates in a few districts. Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure are readily available to the public.
