Akron, Ohio – Administrative Judge Amy Corrigall Jones updated the media today announcing that, after consultation with the Supreme Court and County officials, Judge Alison McCarty will remain out of the office at this time.

Corrigall Jones said the decision was made out of concern for the well-being of the employees and public.

“Since the news broke, people have expressed concern about the coronavirus being spread in the courthouse and we want people to know that out of an abundance of caution, Judge McCarty will not return to the courthouse until after the appropriate period has passed and she has remained asymptomatic,” stated Jones.

“We continue to work with local officials and we have arranged with the Supreme Court to provide coverage for her cases.  We will continue to monitor the judge’s daily progress and in the meantime, we have confirmed that the judge has had no contact with any employee in the courthouse.  All employees are safe and all members of the public are safe to enter the building.  The courthouse continues with its daily operations.” concluded Corrigall Jones.
