"Ohio Supreme Court Rules of Practice & Procedure Amendments"

This post was written by Chuck Kallendorf: "Following up on an earlier posting from the beginning of the year, Ohio's Supreme Court announced yesterday that they had filed "final amendments to the annual update of the Rules of Practice and Procedure, including changes to the criminal discovery process that were developed through a collaborative process led by the late Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer and including the criminal defense bar and prosecutors --- including changes to the rules of criminal procedure and the rules of appellate procedure. Specifically, the amendments to Criminal Rule 16 call for a more open discovery process, and the revision of several rules of appellate procedure implements a procedure for en banc consideration in courts of appeals when separate three-judge panels within the same court of appeals reach conflicting decisions on the same matter of law."

The amendments take effect on July 1, unless before that date the General Assembly adopts a concurrent resolution of disapproval.
