  • Nearly half of the state's courts are utilizing document imaging technology.
  • Courts are moving away from VHS and analog recording and toward digital recording methods.
  • 100 percent of Ohio trial courts are now automated, and only one appellate court remains to be automated at this time.
  • Video arraignment technology continues to grow with 127 courts reporting they conducted video conferencing for various purposes.
  • Fifty courts also reported using multimedia presentation equipment in their courtrooms for slide presentations, digital photography and video reenactments.
  • 250 courts have Web sites as of 2006, which is more than twice the number with Web sites in 2000
