The First Circuit Court in Nashville, TN is a court of general jurisdiction that administers right and justice according to law in cases where jurisdiction is not conferred upon another tribunal. Established in 1810, the court derives its name from its jurisdiction over several counties in a particular district or circuit.
Over the years, the workload of the court has necessitated the creation of additional circuit courts, including the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Circuit Courts. Each court has concurrent jurisdiction with the others and handles various legal matters, such as divorces, adoptions, and the administration of estates. The First Circuit Court remains an important institution in Davidson County, serving the community and ensuring the fair administration of justice.
