Do We Need 2nd Judge In Huron County
Huron County faces a potential second general division judgeship after Judge Robert W. Smith urged Ohio lawmakers to create it. Backlog concerns persist as the legislature may eventually approve, prompting courthouse relocation debates and space planning for auditor, treasurer, recorder, and tax map offices. The county has years to prepare, with the current backlog highest among 47 counties with one judge. A court referee was hired for divorce cases but backlog remains, while lawyers note Judge Smith’s slow pace and few appeals. The court holds sway, yet commissioners can study practices in other counties before any action.
