Selection method

The judges of the Ohio District Courts of Appeals are selected through partisan primary elections followed by nonpartisan general elections.[3] Courts of appeals candidates are chosen in their respective appellate districts.[3] 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.[3] In 2007, Governor Ted Strickland issued an executive order creating a judicial appointment recommendation panel to assist in making new appointments. The panel evaluates applicants and advises the governor, but the governor is not bound to the panel's recommendations.[3]

Qualifications

To serve on the court, a judge must be:

  • a district resident;
  • at least six years in the practice of law; and
  • under the age of 70.[3]

Selection of the chief judge

The chief judge of the Ohio District Courts of Appeal is chosen by peer vote and serves for one year.[3]
