The OBJA Statewide Civics Day a HUGE SUCCESS!

The OBJA Outreach Committee chaired by Judge Wende Cross, Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas, held a 2024 Statewide Civics Day where several OBJA Members visited local high schools either in-person or virtually to provide insights on what the system is designed to do, inspire them to stay in school, and know that there are faces on the bench that look like them!

We just wrapped up an amazing My BarStory podcast recording session with Eighth District Court of Appeals Judge Emanuella D. Groves and Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Lauren C. Moore. Hosted by CMBA’s Community and Pro Bono Events Specialist Chavone Nash, who says “it’s a talk about the intersectionality of being a Black woman in law, being a judge, and being a mom.”

New episodes of My BarStory are released every Sunday at Noon at clemetrobar.org/podcasts and on your favorite podcast apps.
