Merit selection for Ohio judges proposed at Clermont County bar
Bruce Petrie Ohio State Bar Association representative urged Clermont County Bar members to back a merit selection system for state and local judges on the November 1987 ballot. The plan would create a screening committee for openings on the Ohio Supreme Court and appellate courts, with retention elections and 55 percent yes votes. It would allow counties to adopt similar local provisions, and aims to inform voters while ensuring qualified judges despite limited voter knowledge.
