State v. Tolbert (amicus)

Law enforcement is increasingly using artificial intelligence, including facial recognition technology to investigate crimes. However, the use of such technology to identify a suspect is akin to relying on an anonymous informant, which in and of itself is insufficient to establish probable cause.

State ex rel. Ohio Democratic Party, et al. v. LaRose, et al. (amicus)

This emergency elections case is fallout from our victory in LWVO v. LaRose, a federal case challenging barriers to disabled voters enacted by HB 458.

Preterm-Cleveland, et al. v. Yost, et al. (waiting period challenge)

Ohio law burdens people seeking an abortion with a set of onerous, medically unnecessary, and sometimes harmful prerequisites to obtaining that abortion. This set of restrictions violates the new constitutional amendment guaranteeing abortion rights in the state.
Court Case

Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio v. Yost

In 2021 Ohio passed S.B. 260, a law prohibiting telemedicine abortions. Medication abortions are safe and effective whether they are performed in a medical office or at home. S.B. 260 violates the new constitutional prohibition on unnecessary legal burdens on reproductive healthcare.

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.

Madeline Moe, et al. v. Dave Yost, et al.

Minor Plaintiffs and their parents challenge HB 68, Ohio's ban on gender affirming care for minors.

League of Women Voters of Ohio, et al. v. LaRose, et al. (HB458)

HB458 makes it a felony for anyone not on a limited list of government workers and relatives to assist a disabled Ohioan with their ballot. This significantly impairs access to the ballot for people with disabilities and violates several federal laws.
