The Ohio Supreme Court held back-to-back sessions in Cleveland on September 25 and 26 during its biannual Off-Site Court program. This was the 64th time in 25 years that the Supreme Court has held oral arguments on the road since the program was created in 1987, and it is the third time the court took the program to Cleveland. This slide show shares images from the two sessions, which were held at Case Western Reserve University Law School and the Cuyahoga County Courthouse.
