Darke GOP to host
Ohio Supreme Court Justices
GREENVILLE – “We are very excited to have two of our favorite Supreme
Court Justices coming to the Lincoln Day Dinner on April 2.” said Darke
County Republican Party Executive Committee Chairman Cindy Pike. “We
are inviting the public to attend, reservations are required – give me
a call!”
Justices Terrence O’Donnell and Robert Cupp will be the featured
speakers at the Greenville Country Club. There will be a private
reception for the Justices, at an additional charge, from 4 – 6 p.m.
The dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m. Reservations may be made by
contacting Cindy Pike at (937) 548-1731.
Justice O’Donnell joined the Supreme Court of Ohio in 2003, and began
to lead statewide efforts to increase professionalism among lawyers and
judges all across Ohio. His leadership culminated in the implementation
of a Lawyer to Lawyer Mentoring Program that is recognized nationally
as one of the finest in the entire United States. He regularly speaks
on topics of ethics, professionalism, and appellate advocacy and
continues to support, expand, and strengthen mentoring in Ohio and has
participated in a national forum on professionalism and mentoring at
the University of South Carolina.
Justice O’Donnell currently resides in Rocky River with his wife, Mary
Beth. The couple has four adult children — Terrence, Michael, Colleen,
and Nora, and enjoy spending time with their four grandchildren,
Terrence, Emmett, Kevin, and Charlie.
Prior to Justice Cupp’s election to the Supreme Court of Ohio in
November 2006, he served on the Ohio Court of Appeals, 3rd Appellate
District, which comprises 17 counties in northwest and west central
Ohio. He was selected presiding judge of the court in 2005 and
administrative judge in 2004.
Much of Justice Cupp’s 30-year legal career has been committed to
effective public service. Before becoming a judge, Justice Cupp served
16 years as a member of the Ohio Senate, beginning in 1985 and ending
in 2000 with the advent of Ohio’s legislative term limits. Before his
election to the General Assembly, Justice Cupp served as a Lima City
prosecutor and assistant director of law from 1976 to 1980 and twice
was elected Allen County commissioner, serving from 1981 to 1984 and
2001 to 2002.
Justice Cupp’s wife, Libby, is an educator. They have two sons, Matthew
and Ryan, both of whom are Eagle Scouts.
The public is invited and welcome at the event – however, reservations
are required. Please contact Cindy Pike regarding all details. You may
