Prior to 2004, the court met in the James A. Rhodes State Office Tower and earlier in the Judiciary Annex (now the Senate Building) of the Ohio Statehouse.
In 1974, the court moved from the annex building to the Rhodes State Office Tower.
[1] In Berkheimer v. REKM (25 July 2024), the Supreme Court of Ohio ruled that “ A diner reading “boneless wings” on a menu would no more believe that the restaurant was warranting the absence of bones in the items than believe that the items were made from chicken wings, just as a person eating “chicken fingers” would know that he had not been served fingers.” In dissent three Democratic jurists called this “utter jabberwocky”.
In order to run for a seat on the court, a person must be admitted to the bar in Ohio, and have practiced as a lawyer or served as a judge for at least six years.
[3] From the seating of Robert R. Cupp in 2007 to replace Democrat Alice Robie Resnick until the 2010 appointment of Eric Brown as chief justice, the court consisted entirely of Republicans who had been nominated through the primary process and won the general election, or who were appointed to an open seat by a Republican governor.
This occurred once again in 2018 when Republican Mary DeGenaro was appointed to fill the seat vacated by the lone Democrat on the court, Bill O'Neill.
Democrats once again joined the court in 2019 with the election of Michael Donnelly and Melody Stewart in November 2018.
The Ohio Supreme Court announced through its website the dismissal of the former Disciplinary Counsel on August 29, 2013.
