Cleveland Municipal Court History 
The Cleveland Municipal Court is Ohio's first municipal court and has a long, proud history of forging progressive paths toward a justice system that is truly just. Today, we’re part of a movement known as problem-solving courts and we invite you to explore our rich history to discover how we have evolved to become known to many as the People's Court.
"I'm hoping in the years to come that judges will become more progressive and proactive and be more in tune to what's happening in our communities. We have a lot of work to do in the criminal justice system but I still think its the best system we have in the world. "
Larry A. Jones, Sr.
Administrative and Presiding Judge, 1995-2009
