Ohio judicial system

"The Constitution of Ohio separates our state government into three branches, each with distinct areas of responsibility — the executive, the legislative and the judicial.

The primary function of the judicial branch is to fairly and impartially settle disputes according to the law. To do this, a number of courts have been established in the state by the Constitution and by acts of the General Assembly.

Further, in addition to its place in the court structure as the court of last resort, the Supreme Court, in particular the Chief Justice, is responsible for the administration of the judicial branch in Ohio." [1]

Judge Welbaum to retire

Troy, Ohio: Judge Jeffrey M. Welbaum, of the Miami County Court of Common Pleas has announced that he will retire from the bench, effective August 31, 2010, after 17 years. He had served in this position since the mid-1990s, and, although he says he enjoyed the job, he simply decided "It is time for a change." His term does not expire until December 31, 2012, so voters will elect a new judge in the November 2010 general election. In the meantime, the Governor could appoint a temporary judge, or let a visiting judge sit on the court.[1]
