Despite months of slowdowns and shutdowns of many courthouse functions amid the COVID-19 pandemic, courts across Ohio managed to keep pace with the cases that were filed in 2020.
The 2.18 million cases that were resolved in the state s courts in the first 11 months of the year slightly exceeded the 2.17 million cases that were filed during those months, according to statistics provided by the Ohio Supreme Court. (Numbers for December haven t been compiled.)
That translated into what the Supreme Court refers to as a clearance rate of 100.7%. The courts actually topped the 100.1% clearance rate for the same period in 2019.
The cases included in the statistics run the gamut from small claims lawsuits and traffic offenses to custody battles and violent felonies.
