Districts of the Ohio District Courts of Appeals
State courts

The District Courts of Appeal are the intermediate appellate courts for the state of Ohio. The courts are established by Article IV, Section 1 of the Ohio Constitution, and their jurisdiction is outlined in Article IV, Section 3.[1]

Twelve districts make up the District Courts of Appeal, and each district is assigned a certain number of counties. The number of judges in each district varies by caseload and population, but each district has between four and 12 judges.[1]

Judges hear and decide cases in panels of three.[1]

Jurisdiction

The District Courts of Appeal primarily hear appeals from the Common Pleas, Municipal and County courts. They also have original jurisdiction to hear applications for writs of habeas corpus, mandamus, procedendo, prohibition and quo warranto.[1]

The 10th District, based in Franklin County, has special jurisdiction to hear appeals from the Ohio Court of Claims.[1]

There are 12 judicial districts in Ohio.

Salary

See also: Ohio court salaries and budgets

In 2025, the associate judges of the court received a salary of $178,108, according to the National Center for State Courts.[2]

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.[3][4] 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.[5]

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.[6]

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.[7]

Presiding judge

The manner in which the presiding judge is chosen for each appellate district varies among the districts.[8]

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.[6]

                      Ethics

                      The Ohio Code of Judicial Conduct sets forth ethical guidelines and principles for the conduct of judges and judicial candidates in Ohio. It consists of four overarching canons:

                      • Canon 1: "A judge shall uphold and promote the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary, and shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety."
                      • 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."[11]

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

                      Removal of judges

                      Judges in Ohio may be removed in one of three ways:[12][13]
