CHAPTER 171
Municipal Court
   EDITOR'S NOTE: The provisions of Ohio R. C. 1901.01 established a Municipal Court for the City of Oberlin, which has jurisdiction within the corporate limits of the City of Oberlin and also has territorial jurisdiction within the corporate limits of the municipalities of Amherst, South Amherst, Rochester, Kipton and Wellington, and within the townships of Amherst, Henrietta, Russia, Camden, Pittsfield, Brighton, Wellington, Penfield, Rochester and Huntington in Lorain County. The powers and duties of the Municipal Court are as provided for in Ohio R.C. Chapter 1901. The Oberlin City Charter, in Section III G, authorizes Council to appoint a Police Justice for the City of Oberlin, however, this provision of the City Charter has been repealed by implication by Ohio R. C. 1901.04, which provides that upon the institution of a municipal court, the jurisdiction of a police justice in all civil and criminal causes terminates within the municipal corporation in which such municipal court is located.
