* In-state references to decisions appearing in Ohio State Reports, Ohio Appellate Reports,
or Ohio Miscellaneous Reports should, where possible, include citations to them. Ohio
court practice is to place the year immediately following the parties' names rather than at
the end of the citation. In addition, in-state references to decisions from 2002 forward
should include a medium-neutral citation which, under Ohio rules, consists of the year,
"Ohio", and a sequential decision number in the format shown in the first example. Pinpoint
cites can be to the paragraph numbers assigned by the court reporter or, with pre-2002
decisions, to the official report alone.
