The Ohio State Bar Foundation is a public charity committed to advancing the philanthropic interest of Ohio’s lawyers. We work to improve the justice system, enhance public understanding of the law and recognize excellence in the profession. Our core values include a commitment to a society served by a fair, impartial and accessible system of justice. We believe such a justice system results from the combined efforts of private citizens, educators, judges and lawyers.
