YOUNGSTOWN — Those wanting to fill an unexpired term on the 7th District Court of Appeals are asked to contact the Mahoning County Republican Party at 330-629-7006 to get a copy of the application packet.

The deadline to submit an application is March 2.

Candidates will meet with a screening committee after which the names of at least three candidates will be forwarded to Gov. John Kasich for his consideration.
