Application To Serve Or Renew Service As Assigned Counsel

APPLICATION TO SERVE, OR RENEW SERVICE, AS ASSIGNED COUNSEL. This form is used by attorneys applying to serve or renew their service as assigned counsel in the Eighth District Court of Appeals of Ohio. It gathers key information about the applicant, including contact details, bar registration number, languages spoken, and whether the applicant is a retired Cuyahoga County employee receiving a state pension—which may affect their eligibility for appointments due to pension-related regulations. The form outlines various categories of legal cases for which the applicant may seek certification, such as death penalty postconviction relief, criminal and juvenile felony and misdemeanor appeals, and custody or parental rights matters. For each category, specific experience and continuing legal education (CLE) requirements must be met, and supporting documentation such as CLE transcripts, case histories, proof of insurance, and certification credentials must be submitted. The applicant must certify that they are in good standing with the Ohio Supreme Court, carry professional liability insurance, and comply with the Ohio Administrative Code regarding court-appointed counsel. Annual renewal is required to maintain eligibility for appointments. www.FormsWorkflow.com
