Court Case

Jul 10, 2024

State v. Morris (amicus)

The Ohio Constitution provides a right to counsel that is broader than the corresponding protection in the U.S. Constitution. When police interrogate a defendant alone, but for whom counsel has been appointed, they risk tricking the defendant into believing there is no lawyer available to help them.

Court Case

Feb 07, 2023

In re: Shahani Children (amicus)

Ohio lags behind other states in denying legal standing to unmarried, non-biological parents. Many states have abandoned biological interpretations of “parent” in shared parenting statutes, while others have adopted “de-facto parent” doctrines to allow same-sex couples to establish parentage claims.
