The CLERK & MASTER serves in the dual role
of CLERK of the Chancery Court and the MASTER in
Chancery for the Eleventh Judicial District of Tennessee. As CLERK, the
officer exercises all of the duties
and powers conferred upon clerks of court generally, which role is
almost exclusively clerical, and law or
orders of the court strictly define the powers exercised. As MASTER the
officer is a judicial officer clothed
with many of the powers of a Chancellor. There is no question of Law or
Equity, or disputed fact, which the
CLERK & MASTER may not have occasion to decide, or respecting which the
CLERK & MASTER may not
be called upon to report his opinion to the Court.
To goal of this office is to discharge the duties of the office
diligently, honestly, impartially, courteously and
efficiently. |
