Alias Civil Summons

CIVIL SUMMONS. This form from the General Sessions Court of Knox County, Tennessee, is used to formally notify a defendant that a civil lawsuit has been filed against them and to compel their appearance in court.

It also informs defendants of their legal rights, including a $10,000 personal property exemption under Tennessee law, and how to claim such exemptions.
