Cleveland Lags In Posting Muni Court Info Online

CLEVELAND
Officials are promising that next year, Cleveland will finally join the many other Ohio cities with local court records accessible online.

Cleveland Municipal Court has spent seven years and $10.7 million on a system that would allow people to check the records and pay tickets by computer, but some of the information still is not available on the Web.

Court officials say reasons for the delay include a bad choice of company to install the system and the assignment of some of the work to people who didn’t really know computers.

Municipal courts in other major Ohio cities put their dockets online as far back as 1999. Neighboring municipal courts in Cuyahoga County have beaten Cleveland by at least a few years.
