The Judicial & Court Services Division supports all Ohio trial and appellate courts in the administration of justice by helping develop policy, training judicial officers and court staff, offering support to courts and providing guidance and access to funding. The division provides traditional and innovative court services in response to and with respect for the needs of local courts and the public, with specialization provided by the Judicial College; the Case Management, Dispute Resolution, Specialized Dockets, and Children, Families & the Courts Sections; and the Domestic Relations and Interpreter Services Programs. Office of Judicial & Court Services The Office of Judicial & Court Services is the lead office of the division, supporting and coordinating the efforts of the various sections and programs therein. The office maintains the Court’s database of Ohio judges and assists local courts with the development of proposals for additional judgeships. In November 2008, the office tracked all 208 judicial elections, including 53 contested races and the replacement of 29 retiring judges. Four new judgeships were filled — one each on the 12 th District Court of Appeals and Champaign County Family Court, and two in the Summit County Court of Common Pleas General Division. In late 2008, the office assisted with the transition of the Court Relations and Off-Site Court Programs to the Civic Education Section of the Administrative Division. Judicial College The mission of the Judicial College is to provide continuing education to judges, magistrates and court personnel in Ohio. In 2008, the college offered or hosted 141 courses and meetings for more than 9,200 attendees. Highlights of 2008 included the creation of a business center to manage hotel and faculty contracts, expense reimbursements and attendee registrations. The Judicial College offered business-center support to the Ohio Association of Magistrates and the Ohio Association of Court Administrators, and plans to expand the center’s services to the entire Judicial & Court Services Division. Additionally, the Judicial College acquired a product for live Internet meetings and distance learning. The staff was trained to use the product and will use it for court personnel distance learning courses in 2009.
