Susan J. Dlott is an Article III federal judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. She joined the court in 1995 after being nominated by President Bill Clinton, and became Chief Judge in 2009.
Early life and education
A native of Ohio, Dlott graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1970 with her Bachelor's Degree and later graduated from the Boston University School of Law in 1973 with her Juris Doctor. [1]
Professional career
After graduation from law school, Dlott clerked for appeals judges Jack Day and Alvin Krenzler in the Ohio Court of Appeals in Cleveland from 1973 to 1975. From 1975 to 1979, Dlott served in the Southern District of Ohio as an Assistant United States Attorney involving both civil and criminal litigation. In 1979, Dlott entered into private practice with the Cincinnati law firm of Graydon, Head & Ritchey and in 1981 became the firm's first female partner. During her sixteen-year tenure with the firm Judge Dlott litigated on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants in several high-profile cases. Dlott garnered an acquittal for one client in the longest criminal trial ever in Hamilton County and was court appointed lead counsel in a fifty nine defendant securities fraud case, and was court-appointed lead counsel for a subclass of plaintiffs in Bendectin litigation as a testament to her legal work specializing in both civil litigation and white-collar criminal defense. [2]
Judicial career
Southern District of Ohio
On the recommendation of Senator John Glenn, Dlott was nominated by President Bill Clinton on August 10, 1995 to a seat vacated by Arthur Spiegel as Spiegel went on senior status. Dlott was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on December 22, 1995 on a Senate Vote and received commission on December 26, 1995. [1]

Party labels on judicial ballots
Following a decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, a group of plaintiffs (comprised of the Ohio Democratic Party, a labor union and judicial candidates) brought suit against Ohio in an attempt to have the election ballots amended for this year's general election. Dlott ruled that by not including party labels on the ballot in the November election the state was not severely restricting a candidate's right to free speech. [3]
