Ohio Supreme Court Public Access Rules

A quick reminder from the Ohio Supreme Court that new rules for public access to court records (Sup. R. 44-47) took effect last Wednesday. ( July 2nd. Announcement )

Administrative Counsel Allan Asbury said, "These rules are designed to ensure that Ohioans continue to have open and ready access to court records, and were carefully crafted for more than two years in a process that involved extensive public input and revisions. We will continue to be available to court staff & interested members of the public who have questions about these rules as they are implemented.”

The Supreme Court has a central clearinghouse for information about the rules @ http://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/Boards/superintendence/PAR/default.asp
