In the Constitution of 1851 the jurisdiction of the courts were changed, with the Courts of Common Pleas made responsible for criminal and civil proceedings. Probate cases were moved to the newly formed Probate Courts. In the twentieth-century the state constitution was further amended to provide a Court of Common Pleas in each county in Ohio.
