§ 1907.15.
(A)(1) In counties having more than one county court judge, the presiding judge of the county
court may divide the county court district into areas of separate jurisdiction and
may designate the location at which each judge shall hold court. Except in county court districts exceeding one hundred twenty thousand population,
each area of separate jurisdiction shall be made up of one or more townships. In assigning areas of separate jurisdiction, the presiding judge shall make each
area of separate jurisdiction as equal in population and case load to others in the
district as is possible under existing conditions. Whenever the territory of a county court district is reduced by the territorial expansion
of municipal court jurisdiction, the presiding judge may redetermine areas of separate
jurisdiction and, if necessary, reassign areas so as to make each area of separate
jurisdiction as equal in population and case load to others in the district as is
possible under the altered conditions. In county court districts exceeding one hundred twenty thousand population, the presiding
judge of the county court may assign more than one county court judge to an area of
separate jurisdiction. In any county court district of that nature, the presiding judge from time to time
may assign a judge from one area of separate jurisdiction to another area of separate
jurisdiction and redetermine and reassign areas of separate jurisdiction. Upon that redetermination and reassignment, the presiding judge shall consider,
in addition to population, the case load of each area of separate jurisdiction. (2) In counties having only one county court judge, the area of jurisdiction shall consist
of the entire county court district, and the county court judge, with the concurrence
of the board of county commissioners, shall designate the location at which the judge
shall hold court. (B) The jurisdiction of each county court judge shall be coextensive with the boundaries
of the county court district.
