The OACJ is a broad coalition of businesses, trade associations, and professional associations working together to support a civil justice environment that keeps the Buckeye State affordable and competitive.
Our leadership includes representatives from:
- National Federation of Independent Businesses of Ohio
- Ohio Manufacturers Association
- Ohio Society of CPAs
- Ohio State Medical Association
- Ohio Council of Retail Merchants
- Ohio Hospital Association
- Ohio Chamber of Commerce
Collectively, our members represent a strong, unified voice for Ohio’s business and professional community.
We support judicial candidates who practice judicial restraint and oppose legislating from the bench.
