League of Women Voters Forum, *Judicial Independence*
Posted by Media Release
Are judges in Ohio deciding cases on the basis of the facts presented or on the basis of who contributed to his/her campaign? Are too many judges campaign races non-competitive? Are there too many intrusions of special-interest groups into judicial campaigns. These and other issues will be the focus of an Ohio imPACT TOWN HALL MEETING on Judicial Independence.
The League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area presents an Ohio imPACT TOWN HALL MEETING on Judicial Independence. It will take place on Thursday, May 15th at 12:30-2pm at the Taft Research Center’s Lecture room at 2526 Clifton Avenue. Speakers include: Michael Solimine, Professor of Law, University of Cincinnati, William K. Woods, President of CommonCause Ohio,Kathleen King Esq., Hamilton County Domestic Relations Ct.
Ohio imPACT TOWN HALL MEETING on Judicial Independence is designed to bring people together to look at the judicial branch, what judicial independence means and how it is threatened in Ohio. Why is this so timely? The judiciary, one of the three branches of government, is typically the least understood branch. Yet it is the branch charged with protecting access to justice for all.
The presentation includes a brief DVD and speakers who can discuss the significance of the judiciary, handle questions and facilitate meaningful discussions on the importance of preserving fair and impartial courts. Students from the University of Cincinnati will also be participating.
Co-sponsors: Taft Research Center, CommonCause Ohio, League of Women =
Voters of Greater Cincinnati, and Ohio impact.

Open to the public. Free Lunch.

Well, it is about time. We have been hammering the questions regarding the bench for years.
Maybe an interview with Norma Davis, real soon, could prove interesting ?
We think there is a common pleas appoinment coming up ?
