Circuit Court Clerk's OfficeNew!
New local rules, effective January 1, 2008, can be viewed from the "local rules" link to the left.
Among the types of cases heard by the Circuit Courts are contract disputes, civil torts, condemnations, worker’s compensation claims, domestic matters and the administration of estates. Currently comprised of eight divisions, Davidson County's Circuit Courts serve the 20th Judicial District. Circuit Court is a court of general jurisdiction and shares equal standing with the Criminal and Chancery trial courts. Three divisions of the court specialize in specific areas of law. Fourth and Eighth Circuit Courts preside exclusively over domestic matters and all matters of estate administration are assigned to Seventh Circuit Court. |
