The Clerk of Clark County
Common Pleas Court Legal Division will be closed Wednesday, June 20 through Friday,
June 22 as part of its conversion to a new, grant-funded case management
system.
The clerk’s office recently
received a $207,000 technology grant from the Supreme Court of Ohio to convert
to the CourtView case management system, which is used in several neighboring
counties including Champaign and Montgomery counties.
“It’s a truly streamlined,
reliable and efficient system,” Clark County Clerk of Common Pleas Court Melissa
M. Tuttle said. “It provides for better customer service and quicker case resolutions.
We really want to embrace technology and invest in the future.”
The case management system
is widely-used throughout the United States including the entire Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, Tuttle said. It also provides annual training for employees
and updates to fix bugs in the system, Tuttle said.
“We
know our customers spend valuable time and resources fulfilling requests from
the public for access to Court records,” said Jeffrey Harmon, General Manager
for equivant, the owner of the CourtView system. “Clark County’s new solution
will free up staff with tailored modules, preferences, parameters, codes and
security to support their unique needs.”
The clerk’s online case
search will be updated until close of business on June 19. The link to the new
system will replace the old link the following week once the conversion is
completed.
The office, located at the
second floor of the Clark County Common Pleas Courthouse, 101 N. Limestone St.,
Suite 210, will re-open when the new case management system becomes operational
on Monday, June 25.
The title offices in both
Springfield and New Carlisle will be open during regular business hours. For time sensitive case filings the
Springfield Title Office will be available. All filings will be added the following week to the case management
system.
