COLUMBUS – A judge from northeast Ohio took time out to give birth in the middle of a weeklong judicial education program she was hosting for the Ohio Supreme Court.
Ashtabula County Court Judge Michelle Fisher’s third child, Connor, arrived in the middle of a new judges orientation held via videoconference.
“He decided he didn’t care about my schedule,” Judge Fisher said.
Connor wasn’t due until Dec. 10 but Fisher went into labor on Dec. 7.
Hours later, Fisher was back online, continuing the virtual orientation from her hospital bed, according to an article in the court’s online newsletter.
