The Tennessee CJA 30 — In-Court Worksheet (PDF) is a form used by Tennessee courts to determine the amount of court-appointed counsel fees for a criminal defense case. It is used by the court to decide the reasonable hourly rate of pay for the court-appointed attorney, the number of hours worked, and the total amount of fees due. The form requires a detailed description of the services performed, as well as the time, labor, and skill expended in providing those services. There are three different types of Tennessee CJA 30 — In-Court Worksheet (PDF): CJA 30 Criminal Case Worksheet, CJA 30 Post-Conviction Worksheet, and CJA 30 Appeal Worksheet.
