SCAM ALERT: Scammers sometimes attempt to impersonate court officials and law enforcement to deceive people. Common scams include false claims that you missed jury duty and must make a payment to avoid arrest and fraudulent claims that a court case requires immediate payment. Please know that this Court does not order people to make payments unless there has either been a court hearing or unless people have had an opportunity to make a written submission for the Court to consider. If you are in doubt, call the Court to confirm.

Court of Common Pleas, General Division.

The General Division has original jurisdiction in criminal felony cases and in civil cases in which the amount in controversy exceeds $15,000.00. More info.

Article IV, Section 1 of the Ohio Constitution establishes the Court of Common Pleas, the only trial court created by the Constitution, and its duties are outlined in Article IV, Section 4.
