Judge Paula C. Giulitto: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

Biography

Hon. Paula C. Giulitto is a judge for the Portage County Court of Common Pleas (Domestic Relations Division) in Ohio. She assumed the bench on January 2, 2011 to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of her father, the Hon. Joseph Giullito (Ret.).

During her tenure in the Domestic Relations Division, Giulitto began the Portage County Bar Association Domestic Relations Clinic, which allows attorneys to donate their time to provide free legal advice to local residents. In addition, she started a similar clinic at the University of Akron School of Law, which allows low-income residents the opportunity to receive help from law students who hold internship licenses from the Ohio Supreme Court.

She received a B.S. from Miami University in 1989. Giulitto went on to complete a J.D. at the University of Akron School of Law in 1992.

Prior to her judicial tenure, Giulitto specialized in family, estate, and probate law at her own private practice, Giulitto Law Office, LLC.

She was elected to serve a two-year term as vice-chair of the Ohio Judicial Conference in 2016.
