Dear Fellow Ohioans: March 2009 Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. once said, “The great thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving.” 2008 was a year of defining our direction and setting the course for the Supreme Court of Ohio. A Message from the Administrative Director Under Chief Justice Moyer’s leadership and with the learned counsel of the other associate Justices, the several judicial associations and the judges throughout the state, we accomplished much this past year in terms of defining our priorities and articulating our mission and vision for the future of the Ohio judicial branch. Most significantly, in 2008 we completed a comprehensive, collaborative strategic planning process to clearly define our goals and articulate a set of specific strategies and tactics for achieving them. In addition, we achieved several organizational and administrative accomplishments that advance the cause of administering justice with integrity and providing leadership to the third branch of Ohio government, including: • The adoption of the first comprehensive revision of the Code of Judicial Conduct since 1999. • The adoption of new Rules of Superintendence for Ohio Courts governing court records that strike a balance between openness and privacy. • Budget cuts and reduced spending for fiscal year 2008 totaling more than $3 million. • The establishment of the Law & Leadership Summer Institute, a program to interest high school freshmen from underserved communities in careers in the law. • The development of new tools and resources for language interpretation in Ohio courtrooms. Throughout this report, there are countless more examples of the successes we achieved this past year as we plot a course toward a bright future for the third branch in Ohio. As the Chief Justice writes in his letter introducing this report, it is only through collaborative effort and common purpose that we can succeed. Steven C.
