What interest does the Bar Association have in the judicial election?
We are an independent, non-partisan organization of lawyers. We are non-political. We simply want to see the most qualified people elected to judicial office. Our independent 30-member Judicial Commission and its 120-member investigative division complete an exhaustive study and investigation of each of the judicial candidates. The Commission and its staff spend countless hours reviewing the candidates’ backgrounds and experience before reaching conclusions about which candidates for Common Pleas and Municipal Court are qualified to be judges. 11.
