Law :  That which is laid down, ordained, or established.  A rule or method according to which phenomena or actions co-exist or follow each other.  Law, in its generic sense, is a body of rules of actions or conduct prescribed by controlling authority, and having binding legal force.

As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever.

Welcome to the Ashland County Law Library.  We are located on the second floor in the quaint, historic downtown courthouse in Ashland, Ohio.  We are open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.  We are closed for lunch from 12:00 until 1:00 p.m.  State and federal holidays are observed.  Our library is staffed by a full time librarian.

We are the county law library for Ashland County.  Our book collection comprises two rooms with a total of around 10,000 volumes.  We offer five computer terminals for use by members of the Ashland Bar Association and have access to both Lexis Nexis and Westlaw legal databases.

The Ashland County Law Library serves the legal and law related information needs of statutory users.  These include judges, attorneys, and county and municipal officials.  The general public is welcome to visit the library and can be directed by the law librarian to particular resources.  Our collection is for reference only and may not be checked out by the general public


News From the Law Community

Congratulations to John Good, winner of the primary election held in May, for Municipal Court Judge. John is the Republican party nominee.  There was no democratic candidate in the primary. John will presumptively assume office in January of 2012 following Judge Jacob Fridline's retirement.

John has resided in Ashland since 1992 and served in the prosecutor's office for seven years.  He specializes in criminal defense and civil litigation.

John states that Judge Fridline has built one of the best municipal courts in Ohio, handling over 12,000 cases per year and all concluded on time. John says he plans to continue with Judge Fridline's mission which has always been to treat people fairly and function in an environment of courtesy and efficiency while remaining very human.  "It's a tremendous responsibility to be able to inherit all this."

The municipal court must always remain a peoples' court and the people must always feel welcome. John says that "locked courtroom doors have no place in America" and will strive to uphold the "fundamental duty of the court which is to protect the community."


John and his wife, Anita, are the parents of two children, Reagan and Jake.


We're all looking forward to John's tenure as Municipal Court Judge.  Welcome and congratulations John!
