The Supreme Court of Ohio has announced the Highland County Court of Common Pleas, Juvenile and Probate Divisions will receive a technology grant from the Supreme Court of Ohio.
“Through enhanced technology, our courts can serve the public more securely, efficiently, and transparently,” said Chief Justice Sharon L. Kennedy. “Whether the grant involves security systems in a courthouse or facilitates an implementation of e-filing, we trust that our grants will improve access to justice for all Ohioans.”
“Highland County Juvenile and Probate Court will use the $55,578 it receives this year to upgrade its current system, which will enhance the efficient and effective administration of all matters that come before the Court,” said Judge Kevin Greer.
This year, the Supreme Court of Ohio is awarding $2.9 million to 42 local court projects for technology systems or upgrades. The projects range from electronic dockets to security systems.
The initial cost of a major technology upgrade can require a significant investment. That’s where the Supreme Court grants help. The annual grants are available to any court of appeals, common pleas, municipal or county court. Applications are reviewed and awarded on a competitive basis.
