During my time at Law School, I worked at the Ohio Innocence Project. I was working with those wrongfully convicted, which sparked my interested in public defense. Outside of that role, working as a public defender means I spend almost every day in the courtroom. Specifically, in Hamilton County, I spend most of my time arguing cases in its courtroom and in front of the judges. I&#8217;ve seen firsthand where the system can break down for people going through it. I&#8217;ve seen it happen for some of my clients. Much of that firsthand experience I can translate to positive change in the Municipal Court. <br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(3) Why are you running for this particular court seat?<\/strong><br \/>I&#8217;ve spent almost my entire legal career in the Hamilton County Courthouse. I&#8217;ve seen firsthand where the system can break down while serving its citizens. My firsthand experience prepares me to apply solutions to the areas where the court can breakdown. I&#8217;ve spent years as a part of the system, and I&#8217;ve experienced areas I know I can improve as a judge, ensuring that everyone appearing before the court is treated with dignity and respect. <\/p>\n\n\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Office: John Kennedy for Municipal Court Age:&nbsp;35 Residence: Hamilton, OH Email: johnkennedyforjudge@gmail.com Website: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/johnkennedyforjudge\/ https:\/\/johnkennedyforjudge.com https:\/\/twitter.com\/jkennedy4judge Occupation: Hamilton County Public Defender Education: J.D. from the University of Cincinnati Work Experience: Public Defender since 2011.
