Supreme Court Employees Serve in National Leadership Positions During his annual State of the Judiciary address in September, Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer noted that several staff members of the Supreme Court of Ohio and its affiliated offices were elected or appointed to leadership positions with national court-related organizations during 2009. Chief Justice Moyer pointed to the national leadership positions as proof of the highquality staff who serve the Supreme Court and the Ohio judicial system and said he was “very proud of their work.” Staff serving in leadership positions are (pictured left to right): Jonathan E. Coughlan, disciplinary counsel, Office of Disciplinary Counsel, serves as president of the Association of Judicial Disciplinary Counsel. The association works to improve the effectiveness of judicial disciplinary organizations and to promote the professional interests of those engaged in the field of judicial discipline. Chris Davey, director, Office of Public Information, serves as treasurer of the Conference of Court Public Information Officers. As an organization dedicated to the role of court public information officers worldwide, the conference provides training, networking opportunities and professional enhancement tailored to the duties of public information officers. Stephanie Hess, manager, Case Management Section, serves on the National Association for Court Management Board of Directors. As the largest court management professional organization in the world, the association provides court management professionals an opportunity to increase their proficiency while working with colleagues to improve the administration of justice. Steven C. Hollon, administrative director, serves as president of the Conference of State Court Administrators, a national organization that represents the top operational executives of the courts of the 50 U.S. states and six territories. With his election, he also became vice-chair of the board of directors of the National Center for State Courts, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the administration of justice by providing leadership and technical assistance to state courts. Amy Reitz, chief deputy clerk, serves on the 12-member executive committee of the National Conference of Appellate Court Clerks. The leadership team oversees conference operations, develops policies and procedures, surveys future conference sites and discusses issues, like further enhancements to e-filing in court. Christy Tull, manager of curriculum development, Ohio Judicial College, serves as president of the National Association of State Judicial Educators. Dedicated to improving the education of state court judges, magistrates and court personnel, the association acts as a leader in defining the practice of judicial branch education and in gathering and sharing resources among educators. 20
supreme court administrative operations Administrative Division • Clerk’s Division Legal Resources Division • Attorney Services Division • Judicial & Court Services Division • Fiscal & Management Resources Division • Information Technology Division • Facilities Management Division • Affiliated Offices The Supreme Court’s employees work in offices, sections, programs and work groups comprising eight divisions: Administrative, Clerk, Legal Resources, Attorney Services, Judicial & Court Services, Fiscal & Management Resources, Information Technology and Facilities Management. The Court also has four affiliated offices with a quasiindependent status because of the nature of their work. They are the Office of Disciplinary Counsel, the Board of Commissioners on Grievances & Discipline, the Clients’ Security Fund and the Ohio Criminal Sentencing Commission. Additionally, the Court also relies upon the volunteer services of dozens of committed judges, attorneys, clerks, court administrators and private citizens who serve on the Supreme Court’s many boards, commissions, advisory committees and task forces. These bodies help the Court provide oversight to the courts of Ohio, regulate the practice of law and provide efficient and helpful services to the judicial branch of Ohio government. For a complete listing of these bodies and the nature of their work, refer to the Supreme Court’s Web site at www.supremecourt.ohio.gov. The table of organization on page 22 provides a visual representation of the Court’s structure in 2009. 21
