Proposed Ohio Supreme Court Rules of Superintendence

The Ohio Supreme Court is seeking comments on a set of proposals that would amend Rules of Superintendence 44 thru 47 until December 19, 2007. (See Announcement)

The proposed rules all apply to court records, “although in many respects they’re similar to the Ohio Public Records Act, presuming them to be open unless otherwise specifically exempted..”

The Court states that the proposal represents the first time the rules have addressed public access to court records, and that the “language of the new proposed rules is based, in part, on the report & recommendations of the Privacy & Public Access Subcommittee of the Supreme Court’s Advisory Committee on Technology & the Courts.

Comments should be sent in writing to: JoEllen Cline, Legislative Counsel, Supreme Court of Ohio, 65 Front Street, 7th. Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215, or clinej@sconet.state.oh.us
