Judicial Panel Accepting Applications to Fill Vacancy on Madison County Municipal Court
The Ohio Judicial Appointments Recommendation Panel (OJARP) will accept applications to fill the upcoming vacancy on the Madison County Municipal Court until 5 p.m. on Dec. 17.
The seat will become vacant on Dec. 31 because of the announced resignation of Judge R. David Picken.
The standard OJARP process has been modified to allow for the consideration and filling of posted vacancies before the end of Gov. Ted Strickland’s term on Jan. 9, 2011.
All applicants for the vacancy must submit an OJARP questionnaire to be considered for appointment. Applicants may also submit additional materials in support of their application, including, but not limited to, a cover letter, resume, and up to six letters of recommendation.
The OJARP questionnaire and application may be downloaded at: http://www.governor.ohio.gov/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=yoPLJzEECRk%3d&tabid=1813
All applications will be reviewed by working groups of the statewide panel of OJARP members. The statewide OJARP members will make non-binding recommendations to the governor.
