PREFACE

This manual has been published to assist all Court Clerks in the service to the citizens of Tennessee. The manual is designed to provide a broad based review of the operation of a state Court Clerk's Office. While the manual is a comprehensive publication, Clerks are urged to use alternative resources to supplement the data in the manual. This is the third update of the manual. The first publication was in 1996 and again in 1998. Many of the changes reflect legislative action amending the Tennessee Code Annotated. The changes in this version are minor in nature but are important. It is the goal of the Committee to keep the manual current. The manual will be updated every time a change is needed. The change will be posted on the AOC Website. The address is tsc.state.tn.us. The complete manual will be online at this site. At the Clerks' Fall conferences, an update supplement will be available. Clerks will only have to change the pages in the manual that need replacing. This will insure that the manual is updated every year. We welcome your suggestions and comments for the improvement of this publication in the future. As Chairman of the Committee, I extend my thanks to all Committee members as listed in the following pages. Special thanks to Rebecca Montgomery, Senior Staff Attorney for the AOC and to the AOC Staff for all their hard work.
