Welcome to the OJARP Resource Website
The Ohio Judicial Appointments Recommendations Panel (OJARP) was created by Governor Ted Strickland in January 2007 to assist in the selection of judges for vacancies in Ohio courts.
Under the Ohio Constitution, the Governor holds the authority to fill vacant judicial posts in Ohio courts.
OJARP Members evaluate the qualifications of applicants for judicial vacancies and then make non-binding recommendations to the Governor based on their evaluations.
OJARP hopes that this website will serve as a resource for all Ohioans seeking to learn more about Ohio judicial appointments, as well as for those who would like to be considered for appointment to an existing vacancy.
