Duties & Responsibilities of the Common Pleas Court-General Division:
Art. IV, Section 4,
of the Ohio Constitution provides that there shall be a court of
common pleas, and such divisions thereof as may be established by
law, for each county of the state.
In accordance with this provision of the constitution, the
legislature from time to time passes legislation providing for the
number of judges and a division of the types of cases for each
Common Pleas Court in the state.
The various divisions of the Common Pleas Courts are as follows:
Criminal, Civil, Domestic Relations, Probate and Juvenile; and one
or more of these divisions may be combined.
In Sandusky County, the Probate and Juvenile divisions are combined
under Judge Brad Smith.
The Criminal, Civil and Domestic Relations divisions are combined
under Judge Dewey and Judge Ansted. All cases filed are
assigned, in equal numbers, to Judge Dewey and Judge Ansted, in
a random manner.
In 2007 there were 1426 new cases filed in the General Division of
the Common Pleas Court. There were also several hundred cases
re-opened, mostly in the Domestic Relations division.
Proceedings of the Common Pleas Court are generally open to the
public.
