These news articles are compiled by the Supreme Court of Ohio, Office of Public Information as a service to the judicial branch of Ohio government. The purpose of this service is to keep judges, court staff and other interested parties informed of the latest developments affecting the practice of law in Ohio, the administration of justice and public perceptions of the judiciary. News stories in the daily articles are selected after the consideration of certain criteria, including the following: the article contains specific search terms (such as “Ohio Supreme Court” or the name of a Justice), concerns a case before the Supreme Court, concerns a case of great general interest to the judicial and legal community, references major events or trends in law and comes from a publication of general circulation. News stories will not be included if they contain profanity or vulgarity or come from a publication that defines its circulation and audience in terms of a special interest. Exclusively political stories will not be included, except stories about the announcement of a candidacy for judicial office, major editorial endorsements of candidates for judicial office, and the outcome of judicial elections.
