The Buckeye Justice Forum (BJF) fosters equity, enhances access to justice, and drives reform in Ohio’s judicial system by advancing progressive majorities on Ohio state courts and by building a progressive judicial pipeline to sustain this effort into the future.
BJF’s programs facilitate the recruitment, vetting, training, and mentorship of progressive judicial candidates and offers education and networking opportunities, with the goal of molding a progressive judiciary appropriate for the 21st century. BJF programming is open to candidates and other reform-minded members of the bar, the bench, and the politico-legal community throughout Ohio.
BJF also seeks to increase diversity on Ohio’s bench to ensure that it more accurately reflects the communities the state court system represents, serves, and touches.
