Judicial Independence

By James T. "Jim" O'Reilly

Candidate for Judge; Ohio State Court of Appeals; District 1; Democratic Party

This information is provided by the candidate
Voters should seek to elect judges unaffected by appointments or similar means of addressing party allegiance.
As my website explains at oreillyforjudge.org, I have not been appointed to a judgeship. I have never been given a judgeship "election" without any opposition. I have not spent years inside the Hamilton County prosecution and judicial systems as an employee of those systems. I believe that a fresh and well prepared view of our county's judicial system will be beneficial to our county's diverse citizens and will enhance the fairness and justice of our legal system. I pledge to remain independent, honest and fair to all who come before my court. I recognize that some voters feel more comfortable with the system as it has been for decades in this county. I encourage all other voters to thoughtfully consider the record explained on my website. I hold my students and myself to high standards for hard work, sound legal reasoning and attention to true justice for all. With your vote I will meet and exceed your expectations for a judge of the appeals court.
