Ohio Jurisprudence 3d, Ohio’s Handy Legal Encyclopedia

Quick, name the best place to start researching any legal topic in Ohio. That’s right, Ohio Jurisprudence 3d, affectionately known as OhJur, gives you a straightforward overview of everything from abandoned property to workers’ comp.

OhJur sections explain the law in relatively easy to read language, and point you to relevant statutes and leading caselaw in the footnotes. You will also sometimes see references to related forms, or other secondary sources.
