Results of Toledo Bar’s Judicial Candidates Survey
Stuart J. Goldberg, President of the Toledo Bar Association,
announces the results of the poll taken of Association members
regarding candidates running in the upcoming election for judges
in local Municipal Courts. The poll was taken August 30 through
September 9, 2011.
Biographies of each judicial candidate and a survey were emailed
to members of the Toledo Bar Association. The questionnaire
asked members to indicate whether they felt judicial candidates
are “highly recommended,” “recommended,” or “not recommended” to
serve as judges.
The qualifications were based on integrity, legal ability, legal
experience, fair-mindedness, promptness, professionalism and
judicial temperament, public and community services, and other
qualifications bearing upon their fitness for the office.
Bar members were instructed to vote only if they had sufficient
information concerning the candidates to form an opinion of
their qualifications.
Results of the 2011 poll are listed below.
