This one-hour CLE that equips Ohio attorneys in any practice area with current, practical knowledge of the state's rapidly changing domestic violence law. Domestic violence reaches every attorney — through a client, an employee, a family member, or a friend — so this program is built for general practitioners, not only family-law or criminal specialists.

The hour walks through five recent statutory and constitutional developments — plus one prominent bill Ohio has not passed — and what each requires attorneys to do differently: the felony reclassification of strangulation (R.C. 2903.18); repeat-offender sentencing and the pregnancy enhancement under House Bill 111; the 2025 electronic-tracking statute reaching AirTags and location apps (R.C. 2903.216); the gap between the permanent federal firearms ban on a misdemeanor conviction and Ohio's weapons-disability statute (18 U.S.C. 922 and R.C. 2923.13); the constitutional victim rights of Marsy's Law and their implementation through R.C. Chapter 2930; and Aisha’s Law — the lethality-screening bill passed twice by the House and never enacted — alongside what R.C. 2935.032 actually requires of police today.

Attendees also learn the attorney mandatory-reporter framework (R.C. 2151.421 and R.C. 5101.61) and how to read a protection order for enforceability — including the firearms-surrender and anti-electronic-monitoring language that must be requested explicitly or the protection fails. Each participant receives a statutory reference handbook keyed to the Ohio Revised Code.

October 28: Legal and Ethical Issues of Medical AI

As AI increasingly enters clinical practice, several legal and ethical issues confront clinicians, health systems, and patients. Who is liable when things go wrong? What should patients be told, and to what do they need to consent? What should be written down in the clinical record?

Nicholson Price is a Professor of Law and a Professor of Learning Health Sciences at the University of Michigan. He studies how law shapes biomedical innovation, especially medical AI. His work has appeared in Science, Nature, JAMA, NEJM, and leading law reviews. He teaches patents, health law, life sciences innovation, AI law, and science fiction and the law. Nicholson is a Senior Fellow at the University of Copenhagen Center for Advanced Studies in Bioscience Innovation Law and a Celadon Fellow at Seoul National University Center for Trustworthy AI.
