Additionally, the Court Relations Program assists with special projects to improve the communication and interaction with and about the court system. The Court Relations Program coordinated Off-Site Court events in Knox County in April of 2007 and in Darke County in October. These events brought to 54 the number of Ohio counties within which the Court has sat since Chief Justice Moyer initiated the program in 1987. The program gives local people and particularly high school students the opportunity to observe the Court in session and to learn about the judicial branch. It was the 20 th year for the program (see story on page 20). The Court Relations Program also offered support to the Judicial Family Network, particularly in regard to new judge orientation and other matters concerning judges’ families. The display of art throughout the Judicial Center was coordinated by the Court Relations Program in 2007, including the hanging of historical Ohio maps and the restoration of portraits of former Supreme Court Justices. Court Relations Program staff oversaw the creation of an Ohio courthouse photograph collection, which will be displayed permanently in the Ohio Judicial Center. Justices talk with students at the April 18, 2007, Off-Site Court session in Knox County. 54
Domestic Violence Program The Domestic Violence Program is the newest addition to the Office of Judicial & Court Services. In September, the Court hired the first full-time program manager for this program, Diana Ramos-Reardon. The program was established to expand the Supreme Court’s efforts to assist and support local courts with best practices and procedures in civil and criminal domestic violence cases and stalking cases, increase victim safety and hold offenders accountable. The program tracks trends in the domestic violence field and disseminates the information to local courts and allied professionals. The program works closely with the Advisory Committee on Domestic Violence, which is appointed by the Chief Justice. Prior to the creation of the program, the Specialized Dockets Section, through Program Manager Christine Raffaele, provided leadership to the Supreme Court’s domestic violence initiative, including providing staff support to the Advisory Committee on Domestic Violence (ACDV). Under the tenure of the Specialized Dockets Section, the ACDV recommended changes to the domestic violence and stalking protection order forms. The Supreme Court adopted the recommended changes effective May 1, 2007. In addition to this work, the Specialized Dockets Section staff worked closely with ACDV subcommittees to develop new standardized forms, including motions and entries to modify or terminate a protection order and pro se contempt forms; to propose language for legislation addressing competing and conflicting protection orders and the non-enforcement of protection orders due to uncertainty in service; to outline a model court rule on preferred practices when issuing domestic violence and stalking protection orders; and to draft a rule amendment to ensure compliance with federal weapons laws. The Specialized Dockets Section staff, in conjunction with the ACDV, also provided meaningful input to the Ohio attorney general’s protection order registry project regarding the proper content and use of the protection order forms. The new, full-time program manager continues to further these endeavors and explore other issues, including teen dating violence, judicial notification to domestic violence offenders regarding their possible firearms disability and impact of witnessing domestic violence on children. The program staff also represents the Supreme Court in statewide, interdisciplinary groups, including the Family Violence Prevention Center Advisory Council, to ensure proper understanding of the judicial system’s role as it concerns domestic violence. Internally, staff collaborates with the other sections and programs at the Supreme Court to lend expertise regarding domestic violence and stalking.
