The Tennessee Supreme Court issued an order on April 24 allowing each judicial district to develop a plan to begin conducting additional in-person hearings. A number of districts have submitted plans and have been working with the court to make requested modifications. In addition to approving a plan for the 1st Judicial District, the court has approved plans for seven other districts: 3rd Judicial District, 14th Judicial District, 16th Judicial District, 17th Judicial District, 19th Judicial District, 27th Judicial District and 29th Judicial District. Until a plan is approved by the chief justice, all courts in the district are to operate under the Supreme Court's March 25 order.
