The Buckeye Justice Forum (BJF) was created to foster equity, enhance access to justice, and drive 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 strives to run programs that facilitate the recruitment, vetting, training, and mentorship of progressive judicial candidates and to offer education and networking opportunities for those candidates and other reform-minded members of the bar, the bench, and the politico-legal community throughout Ohio, all with the goal of molding a progressive judiciary appropriate for the 21st century.

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.

For questions and inquiries pertaining to the Buckeye Justice Forum, please reach out to Project Director Eddie Davenport at Eddie@leadohio.org!
