Marianna presented via DVD a CLE on Highlights of the Past Term of the Ohio Supreme Court at the Magistrate Judge Conference in Columbus.

Appellate lawyer Irene Keyse-Walker of the Cleveland law firm Tucker Ellis visited UC Law as this year’s Harris Distinguished Visitor, an visitor series that Marianna organizes each year at UC Law.  Ms. Keyse-Walker spent most of the day discussing appellate advocacy with a variety of student groups.  Additionally, program benefactor Irv Harris was present for her lunch time talk on building an appellate practice.
