Supreme Court of Ohio Justice Judith Ann Lanzinger spoke Thursday to self-insured employers, workers’ compensation administrators and associated agencies at the Northwestern Ohio Self-Insurers Association meeting.
“As always, I appreciate an opportunity to review and explain recent decisions of the Supreme Court,” Justice Lanzinger said. “I hope that those who practice in the field of workers’ compensation had a particular interest in the cases selected for discussion yesterday.”
The association was founded to provide a forum to help in the development and growth of its northwest Ohio members’ self-insured programs. The professional organization’s monthly meetings, annual workshops and conferences provide ongoing education about best administrative practices, specific health topics and the changing federal and state laws that affect self-insuring employers.
Justice Lanzinger was elected in 2004 as the 150th Justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio and previously served on the 6th District Court of Appeals for Ohio, the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas and the Toledo Municipal Court. Her experience at all levels of the court system allows her a unique perspective of the Ohio judiciary. She currently chairs the Supreme Court’s Commission on Superintendence, which recommends rules for all Ohio courts. As a former elementary and high school teacher, Justice Lanzinger enjoys speaking to the community about the judicial processes. She also teaches regularly at the Ohio and National Judicial Colleges.
