    T S C of O TWENTY TWENTY ANNUAL REPORT 2020 T Annual Report S O f o C Maureen O’Connor CHIEF JUSTICE Sharon L. Kennedy Judith L. French Patrick F. Fischer R. Patrick DeWine Michael P. Donnelly Melody J. Stewart JUSTICES Jeffrey C. Hagler ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR Stephanie E. Hess DEPUTY ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR DEAR OHIOANS: What a life-changing year 2020 turned out to be! We started the year in a rather routine manner. But in about 10 short weeks, the COVID-19 crisis found its way to our state and courts. By mid-March, normal times were gone. Yet, we kept our courts operating across the state with proactive and innovative approaches to social distancing and remote technology. Our courts proved that strict public health guidelines could be observed while maintaining our commitment to court access for Ohioans. Caution reigned at our 300-plus courtrooms. We put common sense and courtesy to work for the benefit of citizens who came before the bench, as well as for staff members, attorneys, magistrates, and judges. Not one Supreme Court session was delayed or postponed during the COVID pandemic thanks to our use of virtual technology for oral arguments. We diverted $6 million in Supreme Court funds to local courts so they could follow our lead into remote technologies, keeping their doors open as much as possible while holding sessions remotely and maximizing safety precautions. The pandemic has been a trying time for trial courts. I am beyond proud of how judges, court staff, and our Supreme Court staff pivoted quickly to ensure judicial matters were resolved as expeditiously as possible while emergency situations were addressed urgently.

    Remarks and Q&A / Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor / March 19, 2020 This is a verbatim transcript of the Ohio Channel Broadcast of Gov. Mike DeWine’s coronavirus news conference. Gov DeWine speaks. Chief Justice O’Connor is introduced by Gov. DeWine at [00:05:56] Thank you. Thank you very much, Governor. Thank you for the invitation to participate this afternoon. I want to thank you also for your courageous leadership on this subject. I think that you have set Ohio as an example for the rest of the nation. And we're proud. This is an unprecedented time. Undoubtedly, a time during which the judiciary of Ohio, as well as the bar, the state and local leaders, must come together to guarantee the vital and continued operation of the state's judicial system and the public's access to justice. Both command and thank Ohio's judiciary for taking action, issuing orders and considering the health and safety of the public as well as their staff. All the while, mindful of the structure and dictates of our constitution and our laws. My intent today is to let everyone know what the courts are doing, and my expectation of what they should be doing to continue operating in a manner consistent with the state's public health strategy. Last Friday, I met with the state's judicial leadership to discuss the judiciary's response to this pandemic. After that meeting, I sent a lengthy email to all judges in Ohio. In the email, I emphasized several key points that I want to highlight today: Courts must open.
