Presiding Judge
As a northeast Ohio native, Judge Kristin Boggs graduated from Kent State University prior to attending and graduating from Cleveland-Marshall College of Law.
Judge Boggs started her legal career as an Ohio Assistant Attorney General and spent nearly 10 years managing a robust litigation practice representing many of Ohio's state agencies and universities in civil actions filed in the Ohio Court of Claims. She also engaged in multiple special assignments, such as the student loan investigation, elections law task force, and elder justice initiative.
In 2016, Judge Boggs was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives, and she quickly developed a legislative agenda focused on breaking down economic barriers, creating safer neighborhoods and expanding access to justice for survivors of sexual violence. Judge Boggs also served as ranking member on the Ohio House Civil Justice and Insurance committees, legislative member of the Ohio Criminal Sentencing Commission, and as Assistant Minority Leader of the Democratic Caucus.
Judge Boggs was elected to Ohio’s 10th District Court of Appeals in 2022. The jurisdictional boundary of the 10th District Court of Appeals encompasses all of Franklin County, Ohio and hears appeals from all divisions of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, Municipal Court, the Ohio Court of Claims, and numerous state agencies.
