Board of Jury Commissioners - Jurors

The following acts once affected jurors or boards of jury commissioners in Campbell County, but are no longer operative.  Also referenced below are acts which repeal prior law without providing new substantive provisions.

  1. Private Acts of 1911, Chapter 74, amended Acts of 1903, Chapter 552, by making the terms and provisions of that act applicable to Campbell County by using the 1910 Federal Census figures.  The 1903 Act created a board of jury commissioners for Cocke County, all the specifications of which were extended into Campbell County except that the board would consist of three discreet members in Campbell County, and their appointments would be made by the quarterly county court at its April term.  The provisions of the 1903 Act were very similar to the current state act on this subject.
  2. Private Acts of 1915, Chapter 415, amended Acts of 1903, Chapter 552, as it was amended, in Section 8, by adding the general language "if it becomes necessary to have additional jurors whose names haven't been taken from the box, or an additional panel from which to select a jury for a pending case, the presiding judge may, in his discretion, select from citizens of the county, or direct the sheriff to summon persons to make up the jury in accordance with the general law."
  3. Private Acts of 1915, Chapter 659, amended Private Acts of 1911, Chapter 74, Item 1, above, by striking "April" and inserting "May" so that the appointment of the members of the board of jury commissioners by the county court would take place in May instead of at the April term as provided previously.
  4. Private Acts of 1947, Chapter 545, stated that the compensation of jurors in Campbell County, using the 1940 Federal Census figures, shall be, and is, fixed at $4.00 per day for each day's attendance as a juror.  This act was repealed in the caption of Private Acts of 1957, Chapter 130, which was properly ratified, but no mention is made of the repeal in the body of the act.
  5. Private Acts of 1955, Chapter 228, amended Private Acts of 1947, Chapter 545, above, by increasing the daily compensation of jurors in Campbell County from $4.00 to $9.00 a day.  This act was rejected by the quarterly county court of Campbell County and therefore never became a law.
  6. Private Acts of 1957, Chapter 130, provided that those people in Campbell County serving on both grand and petit juries shall receive $6.00 per day as compensation for their services, the foreman of the grand jury would be paid $10.00 per day.  This act was properly ratified by the quarterly court.
  7. Private Acts of 1970, Chapter 301, set the compensation of the officer in attendance upon grand and petit juries to $10.00 for each day’s attendance.
  8. Private Acts of 1972, Chapter 238, repealed Private Acts of 1947, Chapter 545, and Private Acts of 1970, Chapter 301.  This act also set the compensation of jurors at $15 per day for each day's attendance as a juror, and this provision also included all juries which may have been summoned as a special panel to hear cases in chancery court.  Our information is that this act was not acted on prior to the publication of the printed volume of private acts which was confirmed by contact with the circuit court clerk's office.

Chancery Court

The following acts form an outline of the development of equity jurisdiction in Campbell County, although they no longer have the force of law since they have either been superseded by general law, repealed, or failed to receive local ratification.  Also referenced below are acts which repeal prior law without providing new substantive provisions.
