                       Wednesday, April 29, 1998

  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a very special 
constituent and friend of mine, Ohio Supreme Court Justice Alice Robie 
Resnick, on the occasion of the Ohio Women's Bar Association's creation 
of its highest award for professional excellence in her name. It gives 
me great pleasure to wish Justice Resnick my warmest congratulations on 
this truly special occasion.
  Alice Robie Resnick was the fourth woman to be elected to statewide 
office in Ohio when elected to the Supreme Court of Ohio in 1988. She 
has been extremely dedicated to improving the legal profession, the 
judiciary and assisting the status of women in Ohio during her thirty 
year career as a lawyer and judge.
  In December, 1991, Justice Resnick, along with U.S. Magistrate Judge 
Patricia Hemann and Cleveland attorney Pamela Hultin, initiated the 
formation of the Ohio Women's Bar Association. The Ohio Women' Bar 
Association is the only statewide bar association within Ohio solely 
dedicated toward advancing the interests of women attorneys while 
encouraging the networking and creation of a statewide mentor program 
for women attorneys.
  In recognition for Justice Resnick's education, professional 
endeavors and commitment as a leader in the legal field in Ohio, and 
award in her name. This award will be bestowed upon a deserving 
attorney for each year to follow.
  On May 8, 1998, Ohio Women's Bar Association President Kirsti S. 
Talikka will be presenting Justice Resnick with the Ohio Women's Bar 
Association's Justice Alice Robie Resnick Award of Distinction, at its 
annual meeting in Dayton, Ohio.
  It gives me great pleasure to rise today, Mr. Speaker, and join the 
OWBA in congratulating Justice Resnick and wishing her continued 
success.
