Annual Meeting

Ohio Judicial Conference Annual Meeting

Since 1963, the Judicial Conference Annual Meeting is where Ohio Judges come
together to enhance their knowledge and skills and to examine the challenges
confronting judges and courts.

2009 Annual Meeting

The theme of the 2009 Annual Meeting program was "Judicial Reasoning and Philosophy - Making Good Judicial Decisions." The program provided both a look into the theoretical aspects of the philosophy of legal reasoning and the very practical aspects of judicial decision-making. This focus on judicial reasoning and philosophy can help judges make good judicial decisions in a fair and thoughtful manner and help promote fairness in and access to Ohio's courts. The 2009 Annual Meeting took place on September 17th and 18th at the Embassy Suites, Dublin. 

2008 Annual Meeting

"Ensuring Fairness in Ohio's Courts" is the theme of this year's annual meeting program. The perception of unfair, biased, or unequal treatment is an important source of dissatisfaction with the American legal system today. Judges can help alleviate much of the public dissatisfaction with the judicial branch by paying critical attention to key elements of procedural fairness: allowing litigants to express their viewpoints, judicial neutrality, respectful treatment, and engendering trust in authorities.
