Ohio Supreme Court visits Columbiana County

LISBON — The Ohio Supreme Court took some time here to mix justice with education.

The state’s high court heard oral arguments of four cases today in a Columbiana County Courthouse courtroom, which became a classroom for youths under the court’s 57th departure from Columbus during the past 22 years.

The outreach program has enabled 32,530 Ohioans — 24,645 of them high school students — to observe the Supreme Court in action without leaving their communities.

Ryan Weikart, an assistant county prosecutor who was a coordinator for the visit, said, “The kids are getting to see something most people never get to see.”
