On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will pass through Summit County. Having considered the expressed warnings and safety concerns, the Akron Municipal Court has determined that the best course of action is to restrict access to the courthouse on Monday, April 8, 2024. The Akron Municipal Court will be open for Arraignment Court only during the morning of Monday, April 8, 2024. The courthouse will re-open on Tuesday, April 9, 2024 as regularly scheduled.

The Akron Municipal Court Is Experiencing Elevator Issues, Only Arraignment Court Hearings Will Take Place Until Further Notice
09/26/2022

The Akron Municipal Court is without any of its three public elevators at the present time. Because the Harold K. Stubbs Justice Center is currently closed to the public due to the aforementioned elevator issues, hearings will be limited to Arraignment Court only until further notice.

This change impacts parties with a hearing scheduled in an Akron Municipal Courtroom that is not Arraignment Court. These parties will be contacted by their courtroom and/or attorney directly to reschedule.

Repairs to the elevators are expected to be completed as soon as possible. A post will be shared on the Akron Municipal Court Facebook page detailing when hearings will resume.

If court users have questions, they are instructed to call the Akron Municipal Court at (330) 375-2120 and leave a voicemail.
