The Supreme Court of Ohio is the highest court in the Ohio judiciary, serving as the court of last resort. It largely handles appeals from the 12 district courts of appeals and may grant leave to appeal felony convictions or direct the certification of records in civil or misdemeanor cases that are of public or great general interest. The court also has broader appellate authority over constitutional questions, conflicts among appellate decisions, death penalty cases, and certain administrative agency actions. Beyond deciding cases, the court holds constitutional and statutory authority to supervise and provide leadership for the judiciary in Ohio. Based in Ohio, United States, it maintains a mid-sized professional staff to support its role in administering justice and ensuring consistent interpretation of the law.
