the topic of access to justice and fairness in the following areas:<br />
self-represented litigants; pro bono representation; foreign<br />
language interpretation; race, ethnicity and foreign origin;<br />
gender; disability; and sexual orientation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> board of trustees also provided advice and guidance<br />

mandatory education rule.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Court</strong> Personnel Education & Training (CPET)<br />

Case Management Section<br />
<strong>The</strong> Case Management Section provides three primary<br />
services to <strong>Ohio</strong> courts: caseflow management assistance and<br />
training; statistical report collection and analysis; and visiting<br />
and retired judge assignments.<br />
Section staff provide caseflow management assistance by<br />
identifying areas where preferred practices, such as calendar<br />
management, trial management, backlog reduction and<br />
technology, can enhance case management efforts.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Case Management Section also provides guidance on<br />
the caseload statistical reports required of <strong>Ohio</strong> courts and<br />
administers the judicial assignment program of the Chief<br />
Justice, who is authorized by the state constitution to assign<br />
sitting and retired judges to preside in <strong>Ohio</strong> courts to ensure<br />
the timely and efficient administration of justice.<br />
In 2009, section staff provided caseflow management<br />
assistance to courts in Brown, Butler, Clark, Cuyahoga,<br />
Franklin, Greene, Hamilton, Ottawa, Shelby, Stark and Union<br />
counties.<br />
