ATTENTION EVERYONE ENTRING THE COURTHOUSE: 

To ensure the safety and security of everyone entering the Courthouse, effective February 12, 2024 everyone entering the front entrance of the Courthouse will need to have all items screened through the x-ray machine. This includes all bags. All drinks will need to be held going through the metal detector. Any drink containers that contain metal will no longer be allowed into the building as they cannot be properly screened. Drink containers that do not contain metal are still allowed in the building. Please arrive early for any court proceedings that you must attend.

TO ALL COUNSEL SEEKING CRIMINAL CASE APPOINTMENTS: Please take notice that the Common Pleas Court has adopted a new form for counsel seeking to receive appointments to represent indigent criminal defendants. All counsel must submit the new form pursuant to the regulations of the Ohio Public Defender Commission in OAC chapter 120-1. Counsel are urged to review the regulations in that chapter. Completed forms should be returned promptly to Court Administrator Diana Owens. Please click for the Appointed Counsel Application Form in PDF format.
