Appointed By: Gov. Theodore Strickland

Biography

Hon. David Branstool is a judge for the Licking County Court of Common Pleas (General Division) in Ohio. He was appointed to the seat by former Governor Ted Strickland in March 2010 to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. Jon R. Spahr (Ret.).


While in the General Division, Branstool established a Drug Court program in 2011 to assist individuals suffering from drug dependency issues. He was recognized for his efforts in raising awareness about the impact of addiction and mental health issues by receiving the Licking County Wellness and Recovery Champion Award from the Community Mental Health and Recovery Board of Licking and Knox Counties in 2014.


At the time of his appointment, Branstool presided as a judge for the Licking County Municipal Court, a position to which he was elected in 2003. During his tenure on the Municipal Court, he was credited with starting the County’s first specialized court docket, the LIFT Program, in an effort to supervise offenders dealing with mental health issues. For his efforts with the LIFT Program, the Community Mental Health and Recovery Board of Licking and Knox Counties also awarded Branstool with the Special Community Contribution Award in 2010.


He received a B.A. in history from the Ohio State University in 1989. Branstool went on to complete a J.D. at Capital University Law School in 1994. While attending law school, he was a member of the Law Review and was a recipient of the American Jurisprudence Award in Constitutional Law.


Prior to joining the judiciary, his legal career included working for almost a decade as a private practice attorney and serving as an assistant public defender for the Federal Public Defender’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio.


Branstool has taught as an instructor at the Ohio Judicial College, the Ohio Creditor Attorneys Association, and the Licking County Bar Association.


His memberships have included the Association of Municipal and County Court Judges of Ohio (former trustee), the American Bar Association, the Ohio State Bar Association, and the Licking County Bar Association. Branstool also sat on the Ohio Judicial Conference Criminal Law and Procedure Committee and the Ohio State Bar Association Jury Instructions Committee.


His civic involvement included serving as a board member of the Licking County Educational Service Center, the Licking County Education Career and Technical Education Center, and the United Way of Licking County.


Branstool was born and raised in Utica and is a graduate of Utica High School.
