Do You Know About Specialized Dockets in Ohio?

After reading a recent article about drug courts in Cuyahoga County, I thought it might be good to point out to our readers these specialized dockets along with others in the state. The other two types of specialized dockets you may heard of are Veterans Courts and Business or Commercial Courts.

Drug courts and Veterans Courts are specialized dockets through which court and treatment personnel work collaboratively to assist defendants with treatment, instead of prison, for issues such as drugs, alcohol, and mental health. The success of specialized dockets is measured by reduced recidivism, improved treatment, and cost savings.

Commercial courts are for business-to-business disputes. The judges in these courts have expertise in commercial matters.
