Not surprisingly, attorneys are very active in Ohio Supreme Court elections. From 2000-2006, lawyers contributed $2,262,533. Lawyers represent many different interests. Attorneys who primarily represent corporate interests supported 6 members of the court: Robert Cupp, Judith Lanzinger, Maureen O’Connor, Terrence O’Donnell, and Evelyn Lundberg Stratton. Although Paul Pfeifer ran in the primary as a Republican, he did not receive the same kind of support. The attorneys that supported him include the Academy of Trial Lawyers, now the Ohio Association for Justice, and other plaintiff/personal injury attorneys.
