The Hamilton County Criminal Court Clerk’s Office is proud to announce a new way for defendants to submit course completions to the Session’s Division of the Clerk’s office.  Previously if a Judge ordered a defendant to complete DUI school, that defendant would have to return to the clerk’s office with a hard copy of the form to submit it.  Now we are offering two ways for those forms to be submitted. 

“It is very important that the defendant follow directions fully or the submitted form will not be accepted,” said Criminal Court Clerk Vince Dean.  “Partial forms, forms that are not legible, and forms that cannot be readily connected to the defendant will not be accepted.“ 

The following may be submitted: Proof of DUI school completion; Defensive Driving school completion; Public Works or Community Service completion; VIP or Victim Impact Panel.

One may submit the completed course materials by mail. Send to Court of General Sessions, 600 Market Street Room 108, Chattanooga, TN. 37402.

One may also submit by email: [email protected]

Be sure and include your full name and case number when submitting documents.  You will receive confirmation that your document has been received.  If confirmation is not received by the following business day, the document was not received.  These instructions can also be found on our website Hamiltontn.gov under the courts tab.  They can also be found on our APP:  Hamilton County Judicial Services.

“Not only will this reduce the foot traffic in the courts building, it will certainly make life easier and more convenient for those fulfilling the requirements of the court,” Dean said.
