The latest state-focused installment in the popular Manhattan Institute series covers the Buckeye State, scene of some intense liability battles in recent years. Among topics aired: the state's sharply divided Supreme Court, and its narrow swing in recent years toward deference to legislated legal reform; the brief, clownish reign of state Attorney General Marc Dann; and the career of the state's best-known tort lawyer, Stanley Chesley of Cincinnati. Earlier state-by-state reports have covered California, Michigan, and Illinois.
