The Supreme Court of Ohio today announced 33 appointments to boards and commissions for 2008.
“These volunteers play a vital role with their service to the Ohio judicial system,” Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer said. “The generous donation of their time and their talents contributes greatly to the improvement of Ohio courts.”
The Supreme Court of Ohio relies upon numerous boards, commissions, advisory committees, and task forces to help meet its constitutional and statutory authorities to exercise general superintendence over all courts in the state and provide oversight to the practice of law. The boards, commissions, advisory committees, and task forces are created by action of the Court or the Chief Justice and operate pursuant to specific rules or guidelines. They are made up of judges, attorneys, clerks of court, other court personnel, and private citizens from throughout Ohio.
