The Ohio Supreme Court unveiled a shared resources website today to encourage local courts to collaborate on projects to save time and money yet still meet their needs.

The website acts as a clearinghouse for courts to share their current projects and to find partners for future projects. Local courts can access a list of statewide projects and see three examples of how resource-sharing proved successful for local courts. The Supreme Court’s Case Management Section will serve as a liaison in assisting local courts in finding partners for proposed projects.

The Supreme Court’s Advisory Committee on Case Management Subcommittee on Resource Sharing developed the idea. Its members include: Retired Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Tom Pokorny, Second District Court of Appeals Judge Michael Hall, Franklin County Domestic Relations/Juvenile Court Judge Kim Browne, Cleveland Municipal Court Administrator Russell Brown, Franklin County Municipal Court Division Manager Alex Sanchez, and Jefferson County Juvenile Court Probation Officer Mindy Nash.
