Upholding Justice at the Highest Level
The Tennessee Supreme Court is the state’s court of last resort, providing final review on key legal questions that impact people and institutions across Tennessee. The court issues opinions that guide lower courts and help ensure the consistent interpretation of Tennessee law and constitutional principles statewide.
The court is made up of five justices, including a chief justice. It may accept appeals in civil and criminal matters, interpret the constitutions of Tennessee and the United States, and when necessary can assume jurisdiction over undecided appellate cases where an expedited decision is needed.
