It has been an honor and a joy for me, Professor Emerita Marianna Bettman, to blog about cases in the Supreme Court of Ohio for more than a decade. Yet everything has a season, and the time has come for me to retire Legally Speaking Ohio. I am grateful to my many student contributors from the University of Cincinnati College of Law who have given so much to the blog. I thank all who have read the blog. State law often gets short shrift in law schools even though it significantly affects our lives.
I am pleased that the Appellate Practice Group at Porter Wright Morris & Arthur, LLP, has agreed to preserve access to Legally Speaking Ohio’s years of content about the Supreme Court of Ohio after the retirement of my blog. Porter Wright’s new blog, Ohio Appellate Insights, which is managed by an OSBA Certified Appellate Specialist (Terry Posey) and the chair of the firm’s Appellate Practice Group (Brad Hughes), includes news, analysis, tips, and resources about Ohio’s courts of appeals – including the Supreme Court of Ohio. I encourage followers of Legally Speaking Ohio to subscribe to Ohio Appellate Insights and to visit that blog for appellate-focused content that Terry & Brad’s team will be posting going forward. All the information that my students and I have collected, analyzed, and summarized over the years will continue to be available here on the blog’s home page at https://legallyspeakingohio.com.
