The General Sessions Courts in Lebanon, TN, serve as a court of limited jurisdiction, addressing both civil and criminal cases as mandated by state laws and private acts. These courts handle specific monetary limits and types of actions in civil cases, while criminal jurisdiction includes preliminary hearings in felony cases and misdemeanor trials where defendants waive their rights to a grand jury investigation and jury trial.

Judges in the General Sessions Courts are elected for eight-year terms and also serve as juvenile judges, except in counties with established separate Juvenile Courts. The courts aim to improve the administration of justice and promote confidence in the judiciary within the community.
