10 Community Service Award for Newer Attorneys. This award is given to attorneys under 40 or those with less than 15 years of practice who dedicate substantial time to local social service, civic, artistic, or cultural organizations without compensation. Groh's legal practice includes real estate, civil litigation, corporate and business law, estate planning, probate administration, and family law. Beyond his professional duties, Groh is actively involved in his community, serving on various boards including Habitat for Humanity in Wayne County and the Orrville Development Foundation.
Why It's Important?
The recognition of Jason Groh highlights the importance of community service within the legal profession. By honoring attorneys who contribute to their communities, the Ohio State Bar Foundation encourages a culture of civic responsibility and engagement among legal professionals. This award not only acknowledges Groh's contributions but also sets a precedent for other attorneys to follow. Such recognition can inspire more legal professionals to engage in community service, thereby strengthening community ties and enhancing the public perception of the legal field.
What's Next?
The District and Regional Award winners, including Groh, were celebrated at the 2025 OSBF All Rise Annual Awards Celebration. They will be honored again in May 2026 during the Ohio State Bar Association’s annual meeting. This continued recognition may further motivate Groh and his peers to maintain and expand their community service efforts.
