 Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court
The Supreme Court of Nevada upheld the statute, concluding that it did not violate the Fourth Amendment because any intrusion on privacy caused by the statute is outweighed by the benefits to officers and community safety, and the public interest in requiring individuals to identify themselves to officers when a reasonable suspicion exists is overwhelming.
The Court reasoned that the request for identification did not fundamentally change the nature of the Terry stop: the stop must still be limited in duration and location, and the request for identification reasonably related to the circumstances that justified the stop, as per Terry v.
In the instant case, the Court found that the officer’s request for identification was a “commonsense inquiry, not an effort to obtain an arrest for failure to identify after a Terry stop yielded insufficient evidence,” and thus did not violate the guarantees of the Fourth Amendment.

 Ohio Supreme Court Strikes Down Radical Tort 'Reform' Law
On August 16, 1999, the Ohio Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional the nation's most extreme law limiting the legal rights of citizens and protecting corporations from liability for their actions.
The majority opinion of the Court noted: "Fairness and judicial economy, as well as the preservation of judicial independence, require this court to address this cause which is of the greatest concern to all the citizens of Ohio.
The court found the law unconstitutional "because it requires a plaintiff to file a claim before she is able to discover the alleged malpractice and her resulting injury, and, therefore, it imposes an impossible condition on her access to the courts and pursuit of her tort remedy."
