Judge Linda Tucci Teodosio has the Leadership we need in our Juvenile Court.

“I believe that my proven experience uniquely qualifies me to serve as Judge of the Summit County Juvenile Court. Over the past five years, I have been recognized for my innovative programming. I have taught new and experienced judges for the Supreme Court Judicial College. I have also been a frequent instructor for the Akron Bar Association, The Ohio Association of Juvenile Court Judges, The Ohio Judicial Conference and the National Association for Juvenile and Family Court Judges. While doing this, I have continued to find new ways to fund programs at our Court so that our children have the best available services to meet their needs. I have remained active in our community so that I can stay in touch with the issues that are important to families and children. I am the only candidate for Summit County Juvenile Court Judge to receive the rating of “Highly Recommended” by the Akron Bar Association Commission on Judicial Candidates. Below are some highlights of my experience. You can download my complete resume by clicking here.”
