Law Book Shift Eases Judge's Space Problem
In Lebanon, the Warren County Common Pleas Court solved a space shortage by moving more than 14 000 law books from Judge Warren C Young's courtroom to the basement. The relocation frees room for Probation Officer George Corcheff and his cramped office on the library third floor, with Dorcheff noting prior distractions and safety concerns from attorney foot traffic. The move will also allow Dorcheff to relocate to a front office, reducing future bottlenecks for his secretary.
