Free
State Foundation Distinguished Adjunct Senior Fellow Deborah Taylor Tate,
Director of the Administrative Office of the Courts in Tennessee, reports the
Tennessee Supreme Court has established a pilot business court to be housed in
the Nashville Metro-Davidson County courthouse, with the expectation of
statewide expansion. The program, which Ms. Tate played a large role in
developing, will oversee complex, corporate litigation, and
business-to-business disputes using pretrial procedures specially adapted to
business cases to streamline litigation and provide greater predictability and
consistency of decisions.
Congratulations to Debi for her leadership in getting the pilot program up and running!
