Request For Publication

REQUEST FOR PUBLICATION. This form is used in the General Sessions Court of Shelby County, Tennessee. It is typically filed when a plaintiff or their attorney needs to notify a defendant of legal action through publication in a newspaper, usually because the defendant cannot be personally served. The form requests that the notice be published in The Daily News for four weeks, with a court date set in the fifth week. This is a common procedure in cases such as civil lawsuits, evictions, debt collection, or other matters requiring legal notice to a party who cannot be located. The form is submitted to the court clerk for processing. www.FormsWorkflow.com
