Keyword(s)

Default search is “or”. Use + before each term for "and" searching. (See Search Tips for more info.)

Links to pdfs of some case files and opinions appear in search results as viewable links. Cases that do not have a linked opinion or have yet to be scanned will indicate that as “no case pdf” and/or “no opinion pdf.” Once a case has been digitized, it will be added to the website for open access by other researchers.

Search Tips

View | Hide

Search by county, date or keyword.
Narrow search using check boxes to search only plaintiff/defendant, cause/crime, or description.
For individual names, begin by searching surname only as keyword. To narrow results, use these tips:
- Keyword search for Hardin Bostick will retrieve all entries with either word, such as John Bostick in Hardin County.
- Keyword search for +Hardin +Bostick will retrieve entries with both words, such as John Bostick in Hardin County or Hardin Bostick in Williamson County.
- Keyword search for +Hardin +Bostick –Williamson will retrieve entries with both Hardin and Bostick, but will NOT include any entries containing the word Williamson (as county or name).
- Keyword search for Hard* will retrieve Hardin, Harding, Hardeman, Hardaway, etc.
- Keyword search for “Hardin Bostick” will retrieve entries with that exact phrase. It will not retrieve “Hardin P. Bostick” or “Harding Bostick”.
Please keep in mind that this is a project in progress, and new cases are added to the index on a monthly basis.
