Judicial selection

See also: Judicial selection in Ohio

The judges of the Ohio District Courts of Appeal are selected through partisan primaries and partisan general elections. Previously, these judges were selected through partisan primaries and nonpartisan general elections, known as the Michigan method. The number of judges on the court of appeals varies by district over time, based on district size and caseload. Each district has between four and 12 judges.

All judges serve six-year terms, after which they are required to run for re-election if they wish to remain on the court. District courts of appeal candidates are chosen in their respective appellate districts.

Qualifications

To serve on the Ohio District Courts of Appeals, a judge must:

• have at least six years in the practice of law;
• be licensed to practice law in the state for at least one year preceding appointment or commencement of the judge's term;
• a judge of a court of record in any jurisdiction in the U.S.; and
• be under the age of 70.

Presiding judge

The manner in which the presiding judge is chosen for each appellate district varies among the districts.

Vacancies

In the event of a midterm vacancy, the governor appoints a replacement. The appointee serves until the next general election taking place 40 or more days after the vacancy occurred. If re-elected, the judge serves the remainder of his or her predecessor's unexpired term.

Ohio Courts of Common Pleas

See also: Ohio Courts of Common Pleas

Limited jurisdiction courts

Ohio has four types of limited jurisdiction courts: Ohio County Courts, Ohio Municipal Courts, Ohio Court of Claims, and Ohio Mayor's Courts.

Ohio County Courts

See also: Ohio County Courts

The judges of the Ohio County Courts are each elected to six-year terms. The elections for this court are nonpartisan contested elections with partisan primaries. To serve on this court, a judge must be a qualified elector, a county resident, be licensed to practice law in the state for at least one year preceding appointment or commencement of the judge's term, and have practiced law for six years.

Ohio Municipal Courts

To serve on this court, a judge must be a qualified elector, a resident of the municipality, be licensed to practice law in the state for at least one year preceding appointment or commencement of the judge's term, and have practiced law for six years.

Ohio Court of Claims

See also: Ohio Court of Claims

Judges of the Ohio Court of Claims are assigned to the court by the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court. Three-judge panels hear claims against the state for personal injury, property damage, contract and wrongful death, and compensation for crime victims.

Ohio Mayor's Courts

The judges of the Ohio Mayor's Courts serve terms of varying lengths depending on the municipality. The mayor either presides as judge or appoints a magistrate. The requirements to serve on this court are determined by the mayor.

History

Selection processes in Ohio have undergone significant changes since the inception of the judiciary. Below is a timeline noting the various stages, from the most recent to the earliest:

• 2021: Governor Mike DeWine (R) signed SB 80 into law that changed supreme court and court of appeals general elections from nonpartisan to partisan.
• 1968: The Modern Courts Amendment was passed, including a provision that retired judges upon their 70th birthdays. In 1989, the constitutionality of such provisions was challenged in federal court in Zielasko v. Ohio. The federal court upheld the provision.
• 1913: Terms of courts of appeal judges were set at six years.
• 1892: Terms of supreme court judges were set at six years.
• 1883: Terms of supreme court judges were set at "not less than five years."
• 1851: Circuit court judges were elected by popular vote to terms "not less than six years." Court of common pleas judges were elected by popular vote to six-year terms as well.
• 1850: Established that supreme court justices were to be elected by popular vote.
• 1802: Established that all judges were to be elected by both houses of the General Assembly to seven-year terms.

Courts in Ohio

In Ohio, there are two federal district courts, a state supreme court, twelve state courts of appeals, and trial courts with both general and limited jurisdiction. These courts serve different purposes, which are outlined in the sections below.

Proposals to change selection methods

Senate Bill Number 80 (2021)

As of January 2022, judges on the Ohio Supreme Court and the Ohio District Courts of Appeals were selected through partisan primary and general elections. Formerly, candidates for these offices participated in partisan primary elections and nonpartisan general elections. The change was made when the Ohio General Assembly enacted Senate Bill 80.

Issue 1 (2011)

On November 8, 2011, Ohio voters defeated Issue 1 by a 62-38 margin. Issue 1 would have allowed judges to serve until the age of 75. Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor (R) supported Issue 1. During her first State of the Judiciary address on September 8, 2011, O'Connor encouraged judges to support the campaign for Issue 1. During the speech, she said she personally does not support any mandatory age of retirement for judges.

Commission-selection proposals (1938 and 1987)

In 1938 and 1987, citizens voted down proposals to switch to an assisted appointment method.

Selection of federal judges

United States district court judges, who are selected from each state, go through a different selection process from that of state judges.

The district courts are served by Article III federal judges, who are appointed for life during good behavior. They are usually first recommended by senators (or members of the House, occasionally). The President of the United States nominates judges, who must then be confirmed by the United States Senate in accordance with Article III of the United States Constitution.

In other states

Each state has a unique set of guidelines governing how they select judges at the state and local level. These methods of selection are:

Election

• Partisan election: Judges are elected by the people, and candidates are listed on the ballot alongside a label designating political party affiliation.
• Nonpartisan election: Judges are elected by the people, and candidates are listed on the ballot without a label designating party affiliation.
• Michigan method: State supreme court justices are selected through nonpartisan elections preceded by either partisan primaries or conventions.
• Retention election: A periodic process whereby voters are asked whether an incumbent judge should remain in office for another term. Judges are not selected for initial terms in office using this election method.

Assisted appointment

• Assisted appointment, also known as merit selection or the Missouri Plan: A nominating commission reviews the qualifications of judicial candidates and submits a list of names to the governor, who appoints a judge from the list. At the state supreme court level, this method is further divided into the following three types:
  • Bar-controlled commission: The state Bar Association is responsible for appointing a majority of the judicial nominating commission that sends the governor a list of nominees that they must choose from.
  • Governor-controlled commission: The governor is responsible for appointing a majority of the judicial nominating commission that sends the governor a list of nominees they must choose from.
  • Hybrid commission: The judicial nominating commission has no majority of members chosen by either the governor or the state bar association. These commissions determine membership in a variety of ways, but no institution or organization has a clear majority control.

Direct appointment

• Court appointment: Judges are selected by judges in the state judiciary.
• Gubernatorial appointment: Judges are appointed by the governor. In some cases, approval from the legislative body is required.
• Legislative election: Judges are selected by the state legislature.
• Municipal government selection: Judges are selected by the governing body of their municipality.

• Canon 2: A judge shall perform the duties of judicial office impartially, competently, and diligently.
• Canon 3: A judge shall conduct the judge’s personal and extrajudicial activities so as to minimize the risk of conflict with the obligations of judicial office.
• Canon 4: A judge or judicial candidate shall not engage in political or campaign activity that is inconsistent with the independence, integrity, or impartiality of the judiciary.

The full text of the Ohio Code of Judicial Conduct can be found here.
