How Do I Find Court Rules in Tennessee Code Annotated?
Remember to check for pockets parts.
1. If a client seeks relief from a
judgment on the basis of a clerical mistake, what is the time span that the
client has to make this motion? This question involves a Civil Procedure
rule. First, what is available in the Court Rules volumes of the
Tennessee Code Annotated?? These volumes appear toward the end of the
TCA.
Volume 2 includes Hamilton County Local Rules of Practice.
2. It is best to use the index to the Rules of Civil
Procedure. The current edition has the index starting on page 527 of
volume 1 of the Court Rules volumes. The court rules are indexed in the
General Index of the TCA, but the indexing seems more detailed in the court
rules volumes. Each court rules has its own index. Look up under
"mistake and error" the subsection on "Judgments, relief from" "Clerical
mistakes."
3. RCP 60.01 and 60.02 need to be read until the answer to the question is
found.
