Dedication of Ohio Judicial Center to Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer

Collections

Supreme Court of Ohio

Description

After the untimely death of Chief Justice Moyer in 2010, the late Chief’s colleagues on the bench voted to rededicate the building in his honor. Chief Justice Moyer was instrumental in moving the Supreme Court of Ohio to the building (formerly the Ohio Departments Building) in May of 2004.

On December 2, 2011, in an official session of Court attended by judges and leaders from throughout Ohio, the building was named the Thomas J. Moyer Ohio Judicial Center, and the official portrait of Chief Justice Moyer was accepted by the Court and permanently installed in the Grand Concourse. Chief Justice Moyer joins U.S. Presidents and other great leaders from the history of Ohio who are forever memorialized in this space.
