During his 14 years on the Ohio Supreme Court, Chief Justice Celebrezze brought to the court a high degree of compassion for Ohioans of all walks of life, as well as effective leadership for his fellow justices. His integrity was unmatched, and he will remain a role model for all who serve in our judicial system for many years to come.”
