Court-wide rules

Applies court-wide

Richland County Court of Common Pleas, General Division publishes its filing requirements at the court level rather than per judge, so these 460 rules are what govern this courtroom.

Filing Requirements

All 161
  • Applies to
    Attorney filing document

    Each attorney filing a document must include the attorney's Supreme Court of Ohio registration or pro hac vice number, address, business email address, and telephone and fax numbers.

  • Applies to
    Motion

    A moving party must serve and file with the motion a brief statement of the reasons and supporting authority citations.

  • Applies to
    Motion or response

    Non-official-reporter decisions attached to a motion or response must have the most relevant language highlighted.

Filing Timing

All 83
  • The court will establish motion briefing schedules under Civil Rule 6(C).

  • An untimely motion, response, or reply will not be accepted or reviewed without leave to file and a showing of good cause.

  • A response to a motion will not be considered unless it is filed before the non-oral hearing date and within the timeframe stated in the notice.

Service

All 47
  • Applies to
    Non oral hearing notice
    Service
    Mail to all parties

    The court will send written notice of a non-oral motion hearing date to the parties or their counsel by ordinary mail or electronically.

  • Unless the rules or a court order provide otherwise, a written motion in limine for a non-trial hearing must be served no later than 14 days before the hearing.

  • Deadline
    28 calendar days

    Unless the rules or a court order provide otherwise, a written motion in limine for trial must be served no later than 28 days before trial begins.

E-Filing

All 45
  • Applies to
    Motion memorandum brief or other filing

    For case types not approved for electronic filing, each party must file an original and one copy with the Clerk because the judges' staff does not file documents for parties.

  • Applies to
    Complaint on cognovit note

    A complaint on a cognovit note cannot be filed through the court's e-filing system and must instead be filed with the clerk for random judicial assignment.

  • A document submitted electronically must identify its signatories using an electronic signature notation such as “/s/ Jane Doe.”
