Juvenile Rule 37(B) Restrictions on use of recording or transcript
Division (B) of this rule was amended to conform the rule with Revised Code section 2151.358(E)(2), which provides for law enforcement personnel to have access to certain juvenile court records. The amendment was not intended to designate juvenile court records as public documents or to enlarge access to juvenile records beyond that specifically designated by a statute directed at juvenile court records.
