Governor DeWine Announces $10.2 Million in Ohio Court Backlog Reduction Program Awards

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Governor Mike DeWine today announced that 51 local courts will receive a total of $10.2 million in grant funding to help reduce accumulated backlogs of pending court proceedings.

Governor DeWine is awarding the funding as part of the Ohio Court Backlog Reduction Program, which launched earlier this year to help local courts reduce the time-to-disposition of pending cases, remove barriers to the timely resolution of cases, and apply creative solutions to improve case flow. 

"I'm grateful for all the hard-working people in our courthouses who work every day to uphold the right to a fair trial," said Governor DeWine. "The funding we are awarding today will support this work and ensure that justice is served in a timely manner."
