Ohio is spending up to $10 million in a move to reduce the backlog of court cases that has piled up mostly because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gov. Mike DeWine announced on June 29 the launch of the Ohio Court Backlog Reduction Program, a new project aimed at helping local courts process the increasing numbers of court cases more quickly.
