Columbus School of Law Alumni Members of the Judiciary

Catholic Law is in the process of updating its Judges Wall, which honors our alumni who serve — or have served — on the bench. We want to ensure that every member of our community who has answered the call to judicial service is recognized.

Please review the current list of names on the Judges Wall below (organized by year of appointment and by class year). If you do not see your name included, we invite you to complete the Judges Wall Application Form so that we may add you in our next update. This update will be formally commemorated at the Dean’s Dinner Celebrating our Alumni Members of the Judiciary on Thursday, April 16, 2026.

To be included, please submit your completed form no later than January 15, 2026. You are also warmly invited to join us for the dinner honoring our alumni judges. A formal invitation for new members of the judiciary and our supporters will follow in the coming months.
