State ex rel. Parikh v. Berkowitz

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that Hamilton County municipal‑court judges have statutory authority to issue an administrative order requiring the clerk to restore online access to eviction records and may hold him in contempt, and that the clerk was not entitled to a writ of prohibition because the judges do not lack jurisdiction and an appeal from any contempt proceeding provides an adequate remedy. The court also affirmed the grant of a writ of mandamus ordering the clerk to rescind his policy.
