- State v. Rudin, (Ohio 2012)
PROBATIONCONSTITUTIONAL LAW/CRIMINAL: The trial court erred in revoking defendants community-control sanctions and imposing an eight-year prison term for failure to pay restitution in accordance with those sanctions, when the record indicated that the defendant had made some bona fide efforts to pay the restitution obligation, and the record did not reflect the reasons for the defendants failure to pay prior to the initial revocation hearing, as required by the fundamental fairness guarantee of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

- Judicial Federalism, Equal Protection, and the Legacy of Racing Association of Central Iowa
Judicial federalism occurs when state supreme courts interpret state constitutional provisions as providing more rights than analogous provisions of the U.S. Constitution. In its 2004 decision of Racing Ass’n of Central Iowa v. Fitzgerald, the Iowa Supreme Court engaged in judicial federalism when it struck down a tax law under article I, section 6 of the Iowa Constitution that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld under the U.S. Constitution’s analogous provision, the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
