Rule 1.01. Authority

These rules are promulgated pursuant to Article IV, Section 5(A)(1) of the Ohio Constitution.

Commentary (July 1, 1997)

Rule 1 is patterned after Rule 1 of the Rules of Superintendence for Courts of Common Pleas and

has been revised to reflect the adoption of uniform superintendence rules. The Rules of Superintendence

for the Courts of Ohio are intended to apply to all trial and appellate courts, except the Court of Claims,

unless a rule clearly is intended to apply only to a specific court or division of a court.

Commentary (July 1, 2026)

Division (B) of Rule 1 was renumbered to Rule 1.01 as part of the 2026 restructuring of the Rules

of Superintendence.
