Now for a rare post about my actual job at the Ohio Public Defender's Office. We’ve compiled a list of cases the court has agreed to decide related to people facing criminal or delinquency charges, and we update it weekly. As cases get decided, we'll move them to the "Recently Decided" tab. ⚖️
At least for now, this list includes only accepted discretionary appeals and certified conflicts. It does not include original actions (writs) or appeals-as-of-right (usually appeals from writs filed in COAs).
The docket number for each case links to the docket, which includes most documents filed, as well as links to the oral argument after that has happened.
Here’s an example from the list. It includes no editorial comment or curation. It’s just a list of the propositions of law that the court had agreed to decide.
Unlike SCOTUS, which wants issue presented as questions, the Ohio Supreme Court wants to know what specific holding the appellant seeks.
