The Associated Press: Ohio court will take your case if you supply paper

The Associated Press: Ohio court will take your case if you supply paper: "MOUNT GILEAD, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio city court says it will only accept new case filings from people who bring their own paper.

Judge Lee McClelland of Morrow County Municipal Court in north-central Ohio says the court has just enough paper to handle hearing notices and other documents for pending cases.

McClelland says the court will stop accepting case filings Monday because it cannot afford to reorder more paper. He told The Columbus Dispatch that the county still hasn't paid the bill for basic supplies the court ordered in November."

Can't have law without paper. No paper, no law. So bring your own paper, says Judge McClelland.

Our court system is starting to sound like our school system. Next they will distribute a list of supplies that petitioners must supply: 2 bottles of purell, 8 rolls of toilet paper, 1 box of #2 pencils, 5 pocket folders in different colors, etc.
