Great New Video Available on Citing Ohio Cases

By Cleveland Law Library

I just finished watching a great new Camtasia video on the Internet that explains how to cite Ohio cases. The video was created and narrated by Sue Altmeyer, formerly a Reference and Research Librarian at our Library who is now the Electronic Services Librarian at the Cleveland-Marshall Law Library. Sue's video shows users how to use and find cases containing "web cites" or "Public domain citations" and clears up all questions relating to published opinions, official reporters, the old distinctions between reported and unreported cases, and questions relating to controlling and persuasive authorities. Her video also explains how to cite Ohio cases in briefs before Ohio and federal courts using both the traditional Blue Book and the Ohio Manual of Citations. Sue's video also shows users how to search "web cites" on the Ohio Supreme Court's website and in Lexis, Westlaw, Casemaker and Fastcase. This video lasts about 20 minutes and is worth watching.
