Cheatham County is part of the 23rd Judicial District, which also includes Dickson, Houston, Humphreys and Stewart Counties. According to the Circuit Court Clerk, the district’s circuit judges rotate through Cheatham County so that a sitting judge is in the county each month, and the civil docket is typically set for the first Monday of the month, with court beginning at 9:00 a.m. Schedules are subject to change, and the court publishes local rules of practice. For anyone with a pending case, the rotation means the timing of motions and hearings depends on the judge’s schedule in the county, so we check the calendar before setting deadlines.
