Supreme Court Administrative Operations Supreme Court employees work in offices, sections, programs and work groups comprising eight divisions: Administrative, Clerk’s, Legal Resources, Attorney Services, Judicial & Court Services, Fiscal & Management Resources, Information Technology and Facilities Management. The Court also has four affiliated offices with a quasi-independent 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. In addition, the Court 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.
