Judge Albert S. Camplese and Family Drug Court Coordinator, Lora Faenza presented at the Supreme Court of Ohio’s 2026 Specialized Dockets Conference, held at The Ohio State University.
Their presentation, “Firm, Fair, and Human: Balancing Accountability and Compassion in Specialized Dockets,” highlighted the important work being done through Ashtabula County’s Family Drug Court program.
Ashtabula County’s Family Drug Court began operations in 2017 and has been serving families in our community for more than nine years.
The statewide conference brought together specialized docket professionals from across Ohio to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices. According to data from the Supreme Court of Ohio, 68 of Ohio’s 88 counties had at least one certified specialized docket.
We are proud to represent Ashtabula County at this statewide conference and to share our experiences with others who are dedicated to strengthening families and making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and children throughout Ohio.
