This includes the Chancery Court, Circuit Court, Civil Sessions Court, Criminal Court, Probate Court, Family Court, and Juvenile Court. Chancery Court Chancery Court is based on the English court system that made decisions based on equity rather than the letter of the law. A Chancellor presides over each court as a judge and hears cases that are mostly related to civil and family court matters. For example, this court hears cases involving divorce, adoption, name changes, contract disputes, and workman’s compensation. The Civil Sessions Court falls under the Chancery Court and is for small claims, with cases involving less than $25,000. Probate Courts also fall under the Chancery Court. Probate Court Probate Courts have jurisdiction over the administration of estates and execution of wills. Probate Court is part of the Chancery Courts and also hears cases regarding guardianships. A Clerk and Master oversees the administration of such matters. Circuit Court Circuit Courts have the widest jurisdiction in Tennessee. These courts hear civil and criminal cases, along with appeals of decisions from Juvenile and General Sessions Courts. Circuit Court jurisdiction can overlap with that of Chancery Court. Most criminal cases are tried in Circuit Court, unless a district has separate criminal courts. Criminal Court In counties with heavy caseloads, the state legislation has established Criminal Courts. Criminal Court judges obviously hear criminal cases, but they also hear appeals of misdemeanor convictions from lower courts. Juvenile Court Juvenile Court hears virtually all cases that involve minors, unless those cases have been transferred to adult court. In addition to criminal offenses of minors, Juvenile Court has jurisdiction over cases involving neglect and child abuse, custody and visitation rights, child support, and treatment for mental health of a minor.
