## Text

In addition to local rules of practice and any other Rule of Superintendence, each court or division,
as applicable, shall adopt the following by local rule:

(A)
A case management plan for the purposes of ensuring the readiness of cases for
pretrial and trial, and maintaining and improving the timely disposition of cases. In
addition to any other provisions necessary to satisfy the purposes of his division,
the plan shall include provisions for an early case management conference, referral
to appropriate and available alternative dispute resolution programs, establishment
of a binding case management schedule, and a pretrial conference in cases where
the trial judge determines a conference is necessary and appropriate. A municipal
or county court may establish separate provisions or exceptions from the plan for
small claims, traffic, and other types of cases that the court determines would not
benefit from the case management plan.

(B)
A jury management plan for purposes of ensuring the efficient and effective use and
management of jury resources. In addition to any other provisions necessary to
satisfy the purposes of this division, the plan shall address the provisions of the
Ohio Trial Court Jury Use and Management Standards adopted by the Supreme
Court on August 16, 1993, and procedures for conducting a trial by jury, whether
in whole or in part, remotely.
