Franklin County Mayor’s Courts

A Mayor’s Court is often found in smaller Ohio cities.  In such a court, the city Mayor or appointed Magistrate acts as judge to conduct hearings.  Minor Misdemeanor, or Misdemeanor Criminal and Traffic cases that occur within the city limits are heard in that city’s Mayor’s Court. In a Mayors Court, one must file an Application for Expungement and Sealing of Record in order to begin the expungement proceedings.  The same legal standards for expungement apply in Mayors Courts as with the larger Franklin County Courts.  During a hearing, the Mayors Court will hear evidence to determine if your record should be expunged. Several factors are weighed in determining whether or not a record should be expunged by the Court. Mayors Courts, like all other courts, are required to follow the Ohio Expungement Statute, Title 2953 of the Ohio Revised Code. Magistrates or judges presiding over a Mayors Court must adhere to the mandates of the Expungement Statute or their decisions may be subject to appeal.  Mayor’s Courts in Franklin County include:
