Abstract
The judicial reference device set out in Rule 53 of the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure was touted in 1974 as a procedure capable of relieving the "problem of justice delayed" by "easing the increasing judicial burden" on a besieged judiciary." While judicial reference is certainly no panacea for the problem (if numbers alone are a valid indicator), it is difficult to refute claims that the reference device contributes to a more efficient and speedy administration of justice.
