2016 Judicial Nominating Commission

The 2016 Judicial Nominating Commission was a group responsible for selecting qualified candidates to fill judicial vacancies in Ohio. Appointed by the governor, the commission reviews applications, conducts interviews, and recommends finalists for judicial positions. Its goal is to ensure transparent, merit-based appointments that uphold the integrity of the judiciary. This process helps maintain an independent and competent judiciary by involving diverse legal professionals in selecting judges, rather than allowing political influence to dominate judicial appointments.
