From time to time we like to pass along educational opportunities that may be of interest to our subscribers. I am including details on an upcoming event that members of our Appellate and Supreme Court Practice are offering on the benefits of amicus advocacy before the Ohio Supreme Court.
Too often, the Ohio Supreme Court decides issues that affect an industry statewide without first having heard from the industry itself. Trade associations and companies can fill this gap by filing “friend of the court” briefs in Supreme Court cases that affect them. To learn more about how your organization can be part of this process, please join Kathleen Trafford, Brad Hughes, and Dennis Hirsch of our Appellate Practice Group on April 8, 2014 for a breakfast briefing. Using a roundtable format, they plan to cover the benefits of amicus advocacy, strategies for effective amicus advocacy, and the rules governing “friend of the court” briefs.
