Tennessee Judicial System

The Tennessee Judicial System is responsible for interpreting laws and administering justice in the state. It includes three main levels: trial courts, where cases are initially heard; appellate courts, which review decisions from trial courts; and the Tennessee Supreme Court, the highest court that provides final rulings. The system handles criminal, civil, family, and probate cases. Judges are either elected or appointed, and courts operate under established procedures to ensure fair trials. This structure aims to uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of individuals in Tennessee.
