The intensive coursework focuses on day-to-day court processes and practical skills, encompassing budgeting, personnel management, project management, court performance tools, and statistical analysis of caseloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Justice Daniel R. Hawkins of the Supreme Court of Ohio addressed the graduates. He highlighted the key principles they discussed in their courses \u2013 expedition and timeliness in case processing; equality, fairness, and integrity; independence and accountability; access to justice; and public trust and confidence. He noted that the skills they learned will enable them to be leaders in their courts and communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cAll of the CMP coursework leads you to instilling public trust and confidence in Ohio\u2019s court system,\u201d said Justice Hawkins. \u201cBuilding and maintaining public confidence in the fairness and effectiveness of the court system ensures the public perceives the court as accessible, fair, and reliable, and that the court is perceived as independent and accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cYour graduation is a powerful testament to your unwavering commitment and dedication to enhancing the standards of our courts in Ohio,\u201d he added. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This is the 16th class of Ohio court personnel to graduate as Certified Court Managers, which is the first level of the three-tier national CMP program. The CMP program is designed to improve the performance of courts and access to justice for members of the community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Ohio is one of only seven states that facilitates the three-tier program for court personnel in the state. Ohio has offered the certification since 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The program was developed by the Institute for Court Management, the educational arm of the National Center for State Courts (NCSC). Founded in 1971, NCSC is a nonprofit organization and a central resource for state courts, promoting the rule of law and improving the administration of justice in state courts and courts around the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sally Wannemacher, Court Administrator of the Paulding County Common Pleas Court, Probate\/Juvenile Division, of Payne, Ohio was among 43 court<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":48824,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2230,6],"tags":[26682,26680,26683,26684,8828,26681,26679],"class_list":["post-48822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-community","category-community","tag-certified-court-manager","tag-court-administrator-of-paulding-county-common-pleas-court","tag-court-management-program","tag-justice-daniel-r-hawkins","tag-payne-ohio","tag-probate-juvenile-division","tag-sally-wannemacher"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Wannemacher-1.jpg?fit=666%2C691&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2YQd9-cHs","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-28 08:06:07","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48822"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48822\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48825,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48822\/revisions\/48825"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
