- In re B.L., (Ohio 2011)
Trial court erred when it determined that it was required to classify juvenile as a Juvenile Sex Offense Registrant. Trial court had discretion in that regard. 2007 Am. Sub. S.B. 10, implementing the federal Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, does not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause of Article I, Section 10 of the United States Constitution or the Retroactive Laws Clause of Article II, Section 28 of the Ohio Constitution. State v. Haines, Montgomery App. No. 23222, 2010-Ohio-1123, followed. Reversed and Remanded.

- In re Copeland, (Ohio 2009)
On appeal, Copeland argues that the application of Senate Bill Ten (S.B. 10) to his case violates the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution, the prohibition on retroactive laws in Article II, Section 28 of the Ohio Constitution, and the Double Jeopardy Clauses of the Ohio and United States Constitutions. Finding that an application of S.B. 10 to Copeland violates neither the Ohio nor United States Constitutions, we affirm the judgment of the juvenile court.
