Shelby Drug Court certified by Ohio Supreme Court

SHELBY — The drug court of the Shelby Municipal Court has earned final certification from the Ohio Supreme Court’s Commission on Specialized Dockets. In order to receive the certification, the local court had to submit an application, undergo a site visit and provide specific program materials in response to certification standards that went in to effect in January 2022.

Specialized dockets are courts that are dedicated to specific types of offenses or offenders and use a combination of different techniques for holding offenders accountable while also addressing the underlying causes of their behavior. There are more than 210 specialized dockets in Ohio courts that deal with issues such as drugs and alcohol, mental health, domestic violence and human trafficking.

The standards provide a minimum level of uniform practices for specialized dockets throughout Ohio and allow local courts to innovate and tailor to meet their community’s needs and resources.

Judge Sheree Studer obtained the recertification in an effort to assist members of the community to have additional resources available during their rehabilitation process.
