Off-Site Court Program Reaches 20-Year Milestone With the completion of oral arguments from the bench of the Darke County Courthouse on Oct. 10, 2007, the Supreme Court of Ohio completed its 20 th year of Off-Site Court, a program started by Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer in 1987. A total of 54 Ohio counties have hosted the Justices of the Supreme Court in the last 20 years. Twice a year, the Off-Site Court program allows the Justices an opportunity to do their work outside of Columbus — where Ohioans not normally exposed to the inner workings of a state institution can learn and watch how legal differences are argued and ultimately remedied by the Justices. “The idea of this program is to bring the Court closer to the public and especially young people,” Chief Justice Moyer said. “Our off-site sessions have enabled nearly 31,000 Ohioans, 23,345 of them high school students, to observe the Supreme Court in action without leaving their communities.” The Supreme Court’s Off-Site Court Supreme Court Justices answer program has gained national recognition students’ questions at a special “press” as a model program for education about briefing before oral arguments. the judiciary. The program enhances high school students’ understanding of the legal system by providing an opportunity for hundreds of students to attend and observe the proceedings of the Supreme Court and interact with Justices, attorneys and Court staff without leaving their home county. Public, private and home-schooled high school students from throughout the visited county are invited to participate in the program on the day set for Justices to hear oral arguments. Prior to Off-Site Court day, the students and their teachers are provided with curriculum material to study before the session, including summaries of the specific cases to be argued. Local attorneys also team with educators at each participating school to explain Ohio’s judicial system and review case materials. Further, on the morning of Off-Site Court, student journalists attend a special briefing during which they can ask questions and interact with Justices of the Court. Students from each participating school also are assigned to attend one oral argument. After their assigned case is argued, each group of students meets with the case attorneys for a debriefing and discussion of the legal issues in the argument they just heard. 20
