WHO WE ARE
Tennessee Juvenile Court Services Association

In September 1972, Juvenile Court representatives from Davidson, Hamilton, Knox and Shelby Counties met in Nashville and agreed to form an ad hoc committee for the purpose of establishing a professional association of juvenile court workers that would become a permanent organization to serve the interest and needs of children in the State. As a professional association TJCSA continues to grow due to the strong support from all of our outstanding judges.
