Lake County Clerk of Courts Faith Andrews allowed to return to office following employee complaints



Published
Lake County Clerk of Courts Faith Andrews can return to work in her own office.

In an unsigned 6-1 decision, the Supreme Court of Ohio ruled judges from the county's common pleas court "patently and unambiguously exceeded their jurisdiction" when they forced Andrews to work remotely all but one day per month. The order had been in place since May amid accusations of mismanagement from members of Andrews' own staff.

"[The order] does not merely direct Andrews in the performance of her duties; it effectively prevents Andrews from performing her duties and thus functionally removes her from her elected office," the court wrote. "If Andrews is to be removed from office, her removal must be done according to the standard and procedure established by statute."
