The Jackson, Nashville and Knoxville Supreme Court Buildings were closed today due to inclement weather. Closures also included the Appellate Court Clerk's Offices, though e-filing remained available. Oral arguments for the Court of Criminal Appeals and the Court of Appeals were canceled and will be rescheduled. The Administrative Office of the Courts was working virtually, and the Tennessee Court of Workers' Compensation Claims said it would proceed with all scheduled telephone settlement approvals today and tomorrow. Other courts closed early today, including the Sumner County Juvenile Court; Campbell County General Sessions Court, courthouse and annexes; and Knox County Criminal and General Sessions courts. Gov. Bill Lee also closed state office buildings across the state. Tomorrow, all state trial courts and the Juvenile Justice Center in Davidson County will be closed for in-person proceedings though some will proceed with remote technologies.
