THE REPORT | September/October 2022 | CincyBar.org
Many voters have never stepped inside a courtroom and may know very little about the various judicial candidates. However, we know our members are knowledgeable about the judges in Hamilton County. It is this knowledge and experience with the judicial system that we would like to bring to the voters of our city.
By completing the Poll, you can help us fulfill our mission to educate the public and to help them make a more educated selection.
Judicial Polls will be sent to the email address on file for our members during the month of September. To confirm or update your email address, please visit your member profile at www.cincybar.org. For more information about the Judicial Poll visit www.cincybar.org/judicialsurvey
