Preface
As amended through March 13, 2024
The foundation of our government rests upon the confidence of the people in the ability of their courts to achieve liberty and justice for all under the law. The fair, impartial, and speedy resolution of cases without unnecessary delay maintains this confidence, safeguards the rights of litigants to the just processing of their causes, and earns the trust of the public.
To secure these ends, the Supreme Court of Ohio adopts the following Rules of Superintendence for the Courts of Ohio to serve the public interest that mandates prompt disposition of all causes, at all times, in all courts of this state.
