Evaluation Criteria 
 

Clerk of Courts, Hamilton County, OH
www.courtclerk.org/
The Hamilton County, Ohio, Clerk of Courts site was rated number 1 by our reviewers because of the wide variety of services provided on the site. Users can search current and historical cases in a number of different ways. An online payment system for traffic fines is in place and users may use their credit cards to pay fines. Court dockets, schedules and calendars for all divisions, civil, criminal, probate, etc.; were accessible online and easy to use and understand. Their system appears to provide public access to the court's case management system online. We were impressed.
