TEXT 3

The Ohio Supreme Court is the highest and most powerful court in Ohio. It is primarily a court of appeals and is Ohio's court of last resort. The Supreme Court also has original (trial) jurisdiction in the same types of extraordinary cases as the courts of appeals. The Supreme Court has some important additional duties. These duties include for example, prescribing rules of procedure.

Appellate and Original Jurisdiction. The appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court is similar to that of the courts of appeals. The Supreme Court is empowered to review final judg­ments and orders of lower courts; to affirm, remand, or modify judgments; and to do whatever is necessary to render a just and final determination of a case. Appeals to the Supreme Court are generally from the district courts of appeals rather than from the trial courts.

Supervision of the Courts. The Supreme Court has the duty to oversee the activities of all courts in the state, and to see that justice is being administered fairly, effectively, and efficiently. The Supreme Court has published rules of superintendence and established vari­ous committees and study groups to ensure the efficient operation of all courts in Ohio.
