Magistrate Crowe was nominated for this honor by Judge Walker.

“Amber is a very bright, dedicated magistrate and is always willing to help my colleagues with anything they might need. Amber understands how our court impacts lives and she takes her role as a magistrate very seriously,” said Judge Walker. “I appreciate her dynamic personality and professionalism.”

Prior to becoming a Magistrate, she was employed at the Summit County Juvenile Court under Judge Linda Teodosio in the Court’s Family Resource Center and at the Summit County Prosecutor’s Office as an Assistant Prosecutor for Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh. 

Magistrate Crowe shares her passion with our community in numerous ways. She serves on the Board of Directors for the Akron Law Alumni Association and the Hope Meadows Foundation, is the Akron Bar Association’s Juvenile Law Committee Co-Chair and is a Guardian ad Litem for the Summit County Juvenile Court. Since 2017, she has also served on New Franklin’s Board of Zoning Appeals and is currently Vice Chair.

Earlier this year, she led a court-sponsored virtual “Have Gavel, Will Travel” visit with Akron-based Girl Scout Troop #91244 where she shared an overview of the judicial system and the steps it takes to become an attorney.
