Ohio Supreme Court educational video debuts during National Judicial Outreach Week.

The Ohio Supreme Court’s Civic Education Section recently unveiled a video that explains how the state court system operates.

The video debuts at the same time the American Bar Association celebrates this week as National Judicial Outreach Week.

The observance is an effort to encourage judges to engage with their communities and talk about the importance of the justice system, courts, and the rule of law.

The Ohio Supreme Court’s video appeals to students and the public, using graphics and video clips to explain the differences between various courts in the state. The Court uses the video and other tools to inform teachers, students, and the public about the role the judiciary plays in our state and its importance in a fair and balanced government.

The new resource also encourages Ohio schools to visit the Thomas J. Moyer Ohio Judicial Center in Columbus for a tour and watch the seven justices participate in oral arguments.

For more information about educational resources available through the Ohio Supreme Court, or to schedule a tour of the Moyer Judicial Center, contact the Civic Education Section at 614.387.9223 or CourtTours@sc.ohio.gov.
