Tenth District Court of Appeals

Ohio's intermediate appellate court for Franklin County — the Columbus-based court that hears appeals from the Court of Common Pleas and, uniquely, most appeals against state government itself.

Key facts

  • Because state agencies and the Ohio General Assembly sit in Columbus, the Tenth District hears a disproportionate share of cases challenging state action — giving a county court statewide reach on questions of administrative and constitutional law.
  • Judges serve 6-year terms and now appear on the ballot with party labels.
  • 2026: two seats up — Michael C. Mentel (D) and Terri Jamison (D), both incumbents, both unopposed.
