Right now, the Summit County Courthouse has enacted new operational guidelines to help keep staff and visitors safe.
All scheduled criminal and civil matters, including mediations, will be conducted via video/telephone conference, unless authorized by the Administrative Judge, through at least July 31, 2020. This timeframe may be extended if necessary and appropriate.
The Court is enforcing social distancing guidelines and use of masks as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Ohio Department of Health (ODH), and other medical professionals. The guidelines include keeping individuals in a courtroom at least six feet apart from each other (with the exception of deputies being closer to defendants), the use of masks for everyone who enters the Summit County Courthouse (staff and visitors included), temperature checks at all access points, hand sanitizer supplied throughout the Courthouse, and all courtrooms being sanitized daily. This also includes limiting the number of people who are allowed to enter a courtroom at a single time to 10 individuals.
