Interns May Now Represent Felons

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | July 28, 2009 - 16:24

The Ohio Supreme Court amended Rule II of the Rules for the Government of the Bar of Ohio, effective Aug. 1, 2009, to allow legal interns to represent felons. Previously, interns could only provide representation for civil, administrative or misdemeanor cases. According to the Court's press release Supreme Court Authorizes Expanded Representation by Legal Interns:

"Amendments to Rule II of the Rules for the Government of the Bar of Ohio will permit legal interns to represent individuals in fourth-degree and fifth-degree felony matters and juveniles, if the crime would be a fourth- or fifth-degree felony if committed by an adult, as long as a supervising attorney accompanies the legal intern to all court proceedings. For first-, second-, or third-degree felonies, supervising attorneys would serve as co-counsel to legal interns in all court proceedings."
