Justice Judith Ann Lanzinger '77 to participate in panel on the Ohio Constitution at Toledo Law

March 9, 2016

Ohio Supreme Court Justice Judith Ann Lanzinger '77 and Marc Wagoner, a member of the Commission and a partner at Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP, will discuss the Ohio Constitution, the Modernization Commission, and possible changes to the Constitution on Thursday, March 17, at noon, in the McQuade Law Auditorium at The University of Toledo College of Law.

The Ohio Constitution is currently under review. The Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission was established and tasked by the Ohio General Assembly with studying the Constitution and recommending amendments. The Commission began its work in 2013, and will continue until 2018.

Toledo Law and the Toledo Bar Association will welcome some of the state's leading experts on the subject to the University for a two-hour program titled "The Ohio Constitution and the Work of the Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission." Other participants include Steven C. Hollon, executive director of the Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission and Steven H. Steinglass, senior policy advisor for the Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission.

"The Commission is performing an incredible service for the people of Ohio as well for the legal profession, and yet many people remain unaware of this important work," said Greg Gilchrist, associate professor of law at Toledo Law and an event organizer.

The event is free and open to the public. It has been approved by the Supreme Court of Ohio Commission on Continuing Legal Education for 2.0 total CLE hours. More information is available on the Toledo Law website.
