The Court has two primary functions:

The Court's term begins on July 1 of each year, and its regular session coincides with the TISL General Assembly each November.

The Court adopts its own Rules of Procedure and elects its own officers, including the Clerk & Marshal. Consistent with the Tennessee Constitution, it also appoints the Attorney General of TISL.

Justice William Koch of the Tennessee Supreme Court and Judge Frank Clement Jr. of the Tennessee Court of Appeals advise the Court on ethics, decorum and procedure. The Tennessee Supreme Court also provides physical resources and other support.
