Chancellors are the judges of the Shelby County Chancery Court, a court of equity that hears matters including divorces, enforcement of trusts and contracts, delinquent property-tax sales, enforcement of arbitration awards, writs of mandamus, removal of public officers, and other equitable claims. Shelby County elects three chancellors, each presiding over a numbered Part. **Part 2** is one of those seats. Chancellors serve partisan eight-year terms.
