Tennessee courts are suspended through the end of the month because of the Coronavirus.
An order from the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court released Friday morning states that all in-person proceedings in state and local courts will be suspended through Tuesday, March 31. According to the order, that includes but is not limited to municipal, juvenile, general sessions, trial and appellate courts.
Circuit Court Clerk Susan Martin said that all persons summoned for the new Grand Jury and term of court March 30 are not to report that day but will need to call 615-597-5711 extension 6 for further jury information after 5 p.m. March 31.
Again, this suspension applies to all DeKalb County Courts including General Sessions, Circuit, Chancery, Criminal, Child Support, DCS, Juvenile Court, and the City of Smithville Municipal Court
