Supreme Court Administrative Operations The administrative operations of the Supreme Court are completed by dedicated employees working in offices, sections, programs and work groups that are formed into eight divisions — Administrative, Clerk, Legal Resources, Attorney Services, Judicial & Court Services, Fiscal & Management Resources, Information Technology and Facilities Management. The Court also has four affiliated offices with a quasi-independent status because of the nature of their work. They are the Office of Disciplinary Counsel, the Board of Commissioners on Grievances & Discipline, the Clients’ Security Fund and the Ohio Criminal Sentencing Commission. The Court also is fortunate to rely on the volunteer services of dozens of committed judges, attorneys, clerks, court administrators and private citizens who serve on the many boards, commissions, advisory committees and task forces that the Court maintains. These bodies help the Court provide oversight to the courts of Ohio, regulate the practice of law, and provide efficient services to the judicial branch of Ohio government. For a complete listing of these bodies and the nature of their structure, refer to www.supremecourtofohio.gov. The table of organization displayed on the preceding page provides a visual representation of the Court’s structure in 2007. Steven C. Hollon is the administrative director of the Supreme Court of Ohio. The administrative director is a constitutional position in Ohio government and serves at the pleasure of the Court. As the senior nonelected officer of the Court, the administrative director, in conjunction with the Chief Justice, the Justices of the Court, the Ohio Judicial Conference, and the judges of the state, is responsible for developing and communicating the long-term vision, values and direction of the Court and the judicial branch of Ohio. In addition, the administrative director is responsible for providing oversight to all divisions within the Court, which consists of 270 employees, and administering a judiciary/Supreme Court budget of more than $134 million. The administrative director assists in the development of emerging issues, including providing support for special projects, initiatives and task forces. He also develops and maintains relationships with the General Assembly, monitors legislative activity on matters of interest to the Court and the judicial branch, and oversees staff assistance to the Commission on the Rules of Superintendence, the Commission on Rules of Practice & Procedure, and follow-up monitoring to the Ohio Courts Futures Commission and the Ohio Commission on Racial Fairness. Hollon is an attorney who began his career as a judicial law clerk with the Ohio 12 th District Court of Appeals and later became that court’s administrator. He then engaged in the private practice of law in Hamilton, Ohio, before becoming the administrator and senior staff attorney of the Ohio 2 nd District Court of Appeals in Dayton, where he served until he assumed his current duties. He also served on the Supreme Court’s Board of Commissioners on Grievances & Discipline, and has lectured at multiple judge association meetings, including a week-long seminar on judicial administration and legal ethics to the Ukrainian Supreme Court in Kiev in 1995. Hollon currently serves on the Boards of Directors of the Conference of State Court Administrators and the National Center for State Courts in Williamsburg, Va. 25
