Ohio Supreme Court's New News Service

The Ohio Supreme Court launched a new, comprehensive news delivery service earlier this week that expands access to information about the Supreme Court and Ohio Judicial System. [Court's Announcement ]

By subscribing to specific categories of news, users will be alerted via e-mail or wireless text message when the Court releases information related to their specific topic(s) of interest. Daily news clippings from media outlets statewide are also included. There are also nearly two dozen RSS news feeds provided by the Supreme Court users can subscribe to.

While the Supreme Court of Ohio is the first court in the United States to launch this service, the system is one that is used by numerous federal agencies including the FBI, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Department of Defense. In addition, the service has been utilized successfully by governments in Oregon, Minnesota, Indiana and the United Kingdom


To sign up for the new service, users should click the "Get News Updates" icon on the front page of the Court's Web site.
