SUMMIT COUNTY, Ohio — Editor's note: The video above is from a previous story from 2020 that featured Judge Amy Corrigall Jones.
Judge Amy Corrigall Jones, a longtime Administrative Judge of the Summit County Court of Common Pleas, announced Monday that she will leave her judicial seat to pursue a new professional venture after her last day in office on August 5, 2022.
Jones turned in her official notice to Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor stating, “I am incredibly grateful I have had the opportunity to serve our community in the judiciary since January 20, 2012. During my ten years of service, I have had the privilege to work with dedicated colleagues, co-workers, treatment team members, and other community leaders. In addition to my daily duties as a Common Pleas Judge, it has been a privilege to serve as Administrative Judge of the General Division for the last six years and to have started and served as presiding judge of the Summit County Valor Court and the Summit County Offender Recidivism Reduction (SCORR) Program.”
Judge Jones has not reveled her next professional venture as of yet, but plans to provide further details about her next step in the near future.
As part of her notice, she reflected on her time as a county judge and what it meant to her:
“I am overwhelmed with gratitude because so many of the people I have worked with and supervised have had a profound impact on me and taught me powerful life lessons. They have inspired me every day. I hope I have given a fraction of the light to them and our community that they have gifted to me over the years. This is a significant professional decision, and I am thankful to have such a strong support system.”
