New: Ohio Constitutional Law and History Website

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | March 03, 2008 - 09:25

The Ohio Constitutional Law and History Website provides online full-text resources and citations useful to scholars, lawyers, judges and the general public. The site brings together the following resources in one convenient place:

  • Links to the full text of primary source material, such as current and historical versions of the Ohio Constitution, and Constitutional Convention proceedings.
  • Current Ohio Supreme Court decisions and pending cases on Ohio Constitutional issues.
  • A table of all the proposed amendments to the Ohio Constitution, vote tallies, and the ballot language or text of the amendment, where available.
  • A bibliography containing citations to secondary sources on the Ohio Constitution, Ohio history and state constitutional law. Some of the secondary sources are linked to the full text of the article or book.
  • The text of recent ballot initiatives filed with the Ohio Attorney General
The site is a work in progress. Please send any comments, corrections or additions to Professor Steven H. Steinglass or Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian

Shared Legal Documents Sites

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | March 03, 2008 - 08:35

Attorneys are posting court filings and transactional documents they drafted on numerous free websites such as JDSupra, Scribd and DocStoc. These sites can help when the form books or Internet form sites just aren't specific enough, or lack examples relating to current trends.

JDSupra ties the documents to author profiles. JDSupra can be used to showcase an attorney's filings and legal documents, as well as articles they authored. Thanks to Wisblawg.
