Valentine's Day Research Contest

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | February 11, 2008 - 10:39

***All prizes have been won, but you can try the contest for fun and research practice!********

Try out your research skills on this short Valentine's Day-themed research challenge. The first seven people to submit correct answers to the information services desk, in person or by email to sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu, will win a free bag of treats. Prizes must be picked up in person at the information services desk. I will indicate on this post when all the prizes have been won.

1. In Ohio, is a husband who gives an engagement ring to his wife-to-be entitled to the ring back if the marriage is annulled? Cite a case for your conclusion.

2. European Convention on Human Rights, Article 12 asserts a right to marriage. Find the European Court of Human Rights case which held that the United Kingdom’s denial of a marriage to a father-in-law and daughter-in-law was a violation of Article 12.

3. Find the Florida divorce case which held that the trial court erred in awarding custody of a dog and visitation rights to the dog, because a dog is personal property and must be awarded by property division.

4. In BNA’s Family Law Reporter, what two cases are cited in the most recent index, for the topic of premarital agreements?

5. Find the 2004 case where singer Mariah Carey was sued for copyright infringement based upon a love song she (and others) composed and performed.

Thanks to Jessica Mathewson, Amy Burchfield, Laura Ray and Kevin Garewal for their help with this quiz.
