The Court issued full opinions in nineteen cases this year, eight in civil cases and eleven in criminal cases. Of course, hundreds of Rule 11 applications, BPR matters, and other matters consumed the Court’s opinion.
BirdDog Law’s Pending Cases book is an easy way to determine the status of criminal and civil cases pending before the Tennessee Supreme Court. Court filings are reviewed several times a month so that the book reflects whether briefs have been filed and an oral argument date has been set. When available, a link to a video of the oral argument is also added.
