COMPLAINT DISMISSED AGAINST OHIOAN WITH LEGAL-ADVICE WEB SITE

The Ohio Supreme Court's disciplinary counsel wanted to put a self-described "judicial watchdog" on a short leash, but former Toledo-area resident David Palmer says the state tried to bite off more than it could chew.

"The dog just lifted his leg and sent a message," said Mr. Palmer yesterday, after learning that a seven-member panel appointed by the high court dismissed the complaint filed against him.

The disciplinary counsel had accused Mr. Palmer, a Powell,

OHIO AUDIT OF PAY TO VISITING JUDGES FINDS FEW ERRORS

An audit of the Ohio Supreme Court's payments to visiting judges filling in temporarily on courts has found a small number of cases in which judges have been overpaid and underpaid.

But state Auditor Jim Petro, in an audit released yesterday, did not specify wrongdoing on the part of these judges, did not name names, and did not order reimbursement to the court.

The audit was requested by the high court because of questions raised about the billings of elected and retired judges

JUDGE WILL DISMISS MILEAGE ALLEGATIONS

A municipal judge said yesterday he will dismiss nine allegations that Ohio Supreme Court Justice Deborah Cook improperly billed taxpayers for mileage for commuting between the court and her Akron home.

Court rules prohibit such mileage reimbursements without a written waiver from the court administrator.

Franklin County Municipal Judge James Green said he determined that self-described judicial watchdog David Palmer, formerly of Maumee, failed to establish that the 118-mile, one-way

BILLING COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST OHIO JUSTICE

Ohio Supreme Court Justice Deborah Cook was accused yesterday of billing taxpayers $2,106 in mileage for which she wasn't entitled.

The allegations, potential misdemeanors, were filed in municipal court by self-described judicial watchdog David Palmer, formerly of Maumee.

Justice Cook, early in her

JUDGE TAKES BITE OUT OF EX-MAUMEE MAN'S JUDICIAL WATCHDOG SITE

The judge ordered that the web site,

Franklin County Municipal Court Judge Bruce Jenkins accepted Mr. Seney's plea and imposed a $300 fine, plus court costs, but the judge

STATE LAWYER PANEL STRIKES ETHICS BEEF

An Ohio State Bar Association committee has dismissed ethics complaints made by a judicial critic against two local judges for collecting pensions while keeping their jobs on the bench.

The complaints stem from a so-called "double-dipping" practice made possible last year by a loophole in a state law that allowed elected officials to retire briefly, then return to their jobs to collect a salary and their pension. Judges James Bates and Charles Doneghy of Lucas County Common Pleas

During a five-hour hearing yesterday before the Board of Commissioners on the Unauthorized Practice of Law, Mr. Palmer used

YARBROUGH TARGETED BY JUDICIAL CRITIC

Complaining that the Franklin County prosecutor's office has not taken action, a critic of the judicial system filed four criminal complaints yesterday against visiting Judge Stephen Yarbrough.

In May, a judge dismissed felony complaints that David Palmer of Powell, Ohio, filed against nine retired visiting judges, including Judge Yarbrough and three other judges from northwest Ohio.

The Franklin County prosecutor's office agreed to work with Mr. Palmer to determine if any of

IT'S BROKEN, SO FIX IT

THE Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court can't blame his colleagues for this one. The court's system of payment for visiting judges around the state is sloppy and shoddy and it invites abuse.

Since the chief justice oversees the visiting judge program in Ohio, it's clear where the buck stops, and that the oversight is something less than 20-20.

What's not instantly evident is whether the discrepancies are deliberate, which seems unlikely. It appears that the Supreme
