New Appointed Appellate Counsel Application

Beginning January 2, 2024, the Second District Court of Appeals will appoint appellate counsel from a new appointed counsel list.  All attorneys who wish to be on the court’s new list, including those who are on the court’s current appointed counsel list, must complete a new application.  The application is available here or from the court’s administrative office:  Ohio Second District Court of Appeals, 41 N. Perry Street, Room 515, Dayton, Ohio 45422. 

Please note that there is a new application requirement.  Attorneys applying to be on the court’s appointed appellate counsel list must attend the court’s biennial appointed appellate counsel seminar (either live or recorded) at least once and indicate the date of attendance on the application.  Past attendance satisfies this requirement.  Attorneys who have not attended the court’s seminar by the time of applying may still submit an application but must attend the seminar within one year of the application.  Those attorneys must submit a new application and request an upgrade; the new application must indicate the date those attorneys attended the court’s seminar.

Attorneys may print the applications, sign them, and then scan and email them back to the court.  Signed applications may be emailed to:  McVeyJ@mcohio.org.  Alternatively, attorneys may deliver by hand or mail signed applications to:   Appointed Counsel Coordinator, Ohio Second District Court of Appeals, 41 N. Perry Street, Room 515, Dayton, Ohio 45422.  The court will review applications in the order they are received.

Questions may be directed to Jessica McVey at McVeyJ@mcohio.org or 937-496-6617.

Thank you for your commitment to the court and your service to the indigent clients in this district.
