• State v. Kendrick, (Ohio 2011)

JURISDICTION/VENUE: A defendant charged with two misdemeanors committed within Hamilton County was subject to the Hamilton County Municipal Court’s subject-matter jurisdiction, and the court acquired personal jurisdiction over the defendant when she initially entered her pleas of not guilty. Objections based on defects in the institution of a prosecution must be raised prior to trial; in the absence of a pretrial objection, such issues are waived. Where a misdemeanor complaint was, on its face, valid under Crim.R. 3, the jurisdiction of the municipal court was properly invoked.

• Advantage Bank v. Waldo Pub., L.L.C., (Ohio 2009)

Trial court had personal jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction to find LLC's sole/managing member, Reichardt, in contempt of the court's order directed at the LLC only. Trial court erred in piercing the corporate veil by applying the old Belvedere test. Trial court did not err in denying LLC's Civ.R. 60(B) motion for purported unauthorized acts of counsel. Trial court did not err in finding LLC in contempt, but did err if it ordered forfeited its previously granted equitable administrative lien credit.

• Refracting Domestic and Global Choice-of-Forum Doctrine Through the Lens of a Single Case

Large portions of the civil procedure curriculum are devoted to the question of forum selection. Doctrines of personal jurisdiction, subject matter jurisdiction, removal, venue, transfer, and forum non conveniens all address the single issue of whether the litigation is proceeding in a proper place. On its face, Piper Aircraft Co v Reyno concerns only one forum-selection doctrine -- the forum non conveniens dismissal in favor of a foreign tribunal. While professors have their own views on whether the Piper opinion is a good effort in this regard, they recognize it as a canonical case; it is the staple forum-non-conveniens case in the casebooks. Piper has always been there, a part of the civil procedure curriculum. But it has generally been locked in one small corner of forum selection d...

• State v. Blair, (Ohio 2010)

ASSAULT – COUNSEL – JURISDICTION/VENUE: The Hamilton County Municipal Court had both subject-matter jurisdiction and personal jurisdiction over the defendant even though he alleged that a reviewing official had never assessed the misdemeanor complaints filed against him by a private citizen as required by R.C. 2935.09. The Hamilton County Municipal Court has subject-matter jurisdiction over misdemeanors committed within its jurisdiction, and the filing of the misdemeanor complaints, which were valid on their face, invoked the court’s jurisdiction. The court acquired personal jurisdiction over the defendant when he entered his not-guilty pleas, and because he never raised the issue of personal jurisdiction in the trial court, he waived it. Because the defendant f...
