Deadline in Tennessee

In Tennessee, the deadline to file a notice of appeal is 30 days from entry of the judgment. This time limit is set by Tenn. R. App. P. 4(a), which governs the commencement of an appeal in civil cases. The 30-day period begins on the date the trial court enters the final judgment or order, not the date of the hearing or oral ruling. The rule provides specific exceptions and circumstances that may alter this deadline, all detailed in the official source. The worked example below demonstrates how the 30-day period is calculated from a given entry date. For an estimate of a specific deadline, use the DocketMath calculator.
