Legal team wins writing award
10/2/2015
The National Association of Attorneys General awarded a “Best Brief Award” to a team from the Appeals Section of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office for their work on Ohio v. Clark.
The winning brief asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn another court’s ruling, which had thrown out a child-abuse conviction. The court unanimously agreed with Ohio’s position, which was argued by Matthew Meyer of the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office.
The Attorney General’s Office also provided legal research, argument preparation and coaching in advance of the oral arguments.
