We’re excited to announce that QUEST, the new case management and e-filing system for Davidson County Juvenile Court, is now live!
QUEST is designed to improve efficiency, transparency, and access to justice for all court users. As we roll out this major upgrade, we kindly ask all staff, attorneys, and court visitors to exercise patience and understanding as we work through the early transition period.
Additional instructions and support materials will be posted here as they become available.
If you have questions or need help with QUEST, please contact the Juvenile Court Clerk’s Office.
Together, we’re building a better court for our community.
Please send questions about e-filing to juvenileefilesupport@jisnashville.gov.
