CINCINNATI - 1st District Court of Appeals Judge Mark Painter reached a major milestone last week with the publishing of his three hundredth written decision in school textbooks. Painter, a University of Cincinnati graduate is on pace to break William Taft’s record of 755 written decisions.

The 1st District Court of Appeals Hall of Fame spokesman, Marty Cartwright says that there is still a ways to go in Painter’s career. Some are comparing Painter to Judging greats, Thurgood Marshall and William Rehnquist
