	Ohio Supreme Court - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ohio Supreme Court is the highest court in the U.S. state of Ohio, with final authority over interpretations of Ohio law and the Ohio Constitution.
		In 1999, the court overturned a law that would have limited awards in tort lawsuits, ruling that it was an unconstitutional violation of separation of powers for the Ohio General Assembly (the state legislature) to try to limit the Supreme Court's authority over court procedure (State ex rel.
		Each time the court overturned such a law, it was met with howls of protest and derision from the legislature, with calls for impeachment and threats to the salaries of the justices.

	Ohio Supreme Court Pollution Exclusion
		On November 14, 2001, the Ohio Supreme Court joined the high courts of Indiana and Illinois in restricting the scope of the absolute pollution exclusion to "traditional environmental pollution" (Anderson v.
		Other jurisdictions have ruled that the absolute pollution exclusion is not applicable to incidents occurring indoors, however, the Ohio high court's decision is more onerous in that it has found ambiguity in the definition of "pollutant" because of the generic terms employed in the pollution exclusion rather than attempting to list specific substances.
		The more recent high court decision seems to track with this decision with the majority of the panel stating that the absolute exclusion bars coverage for the costs of government mandated cleanups - leaving the question of voluntary cleanup costs open for further clarification.

		Chief Justice Thomas Moyer ruled against Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro's attempt to have the lawyers sanctioned for filing "a meritless claim" against the vote that gave President Bush a win in Ohio and, as a result, enough electoral votes to win a second term in the White House.
		In legal documents filed with the state Supreme Court, the lawyers had said the challenge they filed on behalf of 37 voters included enough evidence of voting irregularities to back up their allegations of widespread fraud.
		Moyer, acting under the court's power to assign election-related complaints to a single justice, said that while the court has the authority to sanction attorneys, the speed with which elections must be challenged allows the court some leeway.

		The majority also wrote that even had the trial court abused its discretion in admitting the physician's testimony, reversing the verdict would not be warranted.

	Ohio Supreme Court Issues Emergency Stay (CCW)
		The theory is that, even though two courts have declared this law unconstitutional, and the Ohio Supreme Court has refused to issue an emergency stay in the matter, the Ohio Senate will continue to delay progress on this legislation until the court moves on this issue.

		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."

		COLUMBUS, Ohio –– A mentally ill person involuntarily committed to a treatment center can be ordered by a court to take anti-psychotic drugs if it is in the patient's best interest, the state Supreme Court ruled.
