Advisory Committee on Dispute Resolution Jacqueline C. Hagerott, staff liaison Richard Altman Amy Billiar Hon. Mary Jane Boyle Robin Bozian Hon. William J. Corzine David A. Doyle Dianne Goss Hon. James W. Kirsch Hon. Everett H. Krueger Hon. Stephen L. McIntosh Frank Motz, chair John Polanski Josh Stulberg Thomas Weeks Advisory Committee on Dispute Resolution During 2008, the Advisory Committee on Dispute Resolution had four meetings, the first of which, in January, was a joint meeting with the Ohio Judicial Conference Dispute Resolution Committee and the Commission on Dispute Resolution & Conflict Management. The advisory committee has three subcommittees: Training, Local Court Programs, and Standards. In addition to offering support and guidance to the section regarding standards, training, roundtables and program development in 2008, the advisory committee also assisted in outreach to local courts; completed status reports on child protection, truancy and appellate court mediation in Ohio; and assisted in the foreclosure mediation project, including the development of the foreclosure mediation program model, a pre-filing project for Franklin County and mediation legislation. The advisory committee also worked on an Ohio court mediation directory that represents all mediation services provided throughout the courts in Ohio. The directory includes contact information organized by court type, local rules providing for mediation, the types of mediation offered by each court and other relevant information. Additionally in 2008, the Subcommittee on Additional Alternative Dispute Resolution Options of the Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Children, Families & the Courts joined the Advisory Committee on Dispute Resolution members as four work groups under the Local Court Programs Subcommittee. The subcommittee considered the following dispute resolution processes: arbitration, early neutral evaluation, parenting coordination and collaborative law. The groups met regularly to discuss new initiatives for the advisory committee to address in 2009. Specialized Dockets Section The Specialized Dockets Section promotes the creation of specialized dockets with the provision of technical support and assistance to individual trial courts by analyzing the need for planning and implementing specialized dockets programs, including drug courts, mental health courts, DUI/ OVI courts, re-entry courts, child-support enforcement courts, domestic violence courts and sex-offender courts. The section also designs, funds, and hosts a variety of training events for professionals with a stake in specialized dockets programs. Additionally, the section provides staff support to the Advisory Committee on Mental Illness & the Courts. 66 2008 Annual Report • The Supreme Court of Ohio
In 2008, the Specialized Dockets staff wrote and distributed A Handbook for Developing a Mental Health Court Docket. The handbook assists judges considering the creation of a separate mental health docket by offering guidance on assessing the needs and resources necessary for operating a mental health docket, providing the steps to follow when creating a program, and ensuring preferred practices are followed for the continued success of the 32 mental health dockets currently operating in Ohio. Staff also provided direct technical assistance and support to courts throughout Ohio in planning, implementing and operating specialized dockets programs. In addition to supporting the 115 operating specialized dockets programs, staff worked at the municipal, common pleas and juvenile levels to develop 12 new specialized dockets, including drug, mental health and domestic violence dockets. One of the primary methods of providing peer support and technical assistance to individuals who work with Ohio specialized dockets programs is the Ohio Specialized Dockets Practitioner Network, which is composed of eight sub-networks that meet by discipline. These sub-network meetings allow specialized dockets practitioners to discuss the challenges and successes they face in their roles on the specialized dockets court team. Further, the sub-network meetings offer opportunities for specialized dockets professionals to provide program updates, discuss program operations, and discover innovative and effective strategies employed by other specialized dockets. In 2008, Specialized Dockets staff organized and hosted 21 sub-network meetings cosponsored by the Ohio Departments of Mental Health and Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services. On Nov. 20, 2008, the Supreme Court, in conjunction with the Ohio Departments of Mental Health and Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services, hosted the fifth annual Ohio Specialized Dockets Practitioner Network Conference. The conference attracted 340 judges, court staff and treatment personnel. Featuring keynote speaker Cardwell Nuckols, a nationally recognized expert in the field of substance abuse treatment, the conference offered 21 individual workshops on a variety of topics related to specialized dockets program operations. In addition to the annual conference, the Specialized Dockets Section brought in nationally recognized speakers throughout the year for one-day workshops entitled The Neurobiology of Offender Trauma, Creating Trauma Informed Systems of Care and Bridges Out of Poverty. 2008 Annual Report • The Supreme Court of Ohio 67 Clerk's division Office of the Clerk Case Mediation Section
