Under the leadership of Administrative Judge John Williams, the Hamilton County Juvenile Court
took proactive steps to maintain essential functions of the Court and assist in preventing the
spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease during this State of Emergency. In developing
the Court’s Plan for Operation, the Court has consulted and collaborated with key stakeholders,
which include, but are not limited to: Prosecutor’s Office; Public Defender’s Office; Hamilton
County Department of Job & Family Services; ProKids; the Supreme Court of Ohio; Cincinnati
Children’s Hospital Medical Center; social service agencies; treatment providers and other
local/state agencies. The Court prioritized the safety and well-being of the families and
children we serve, our workforce and the public appearing in our Court.
