On April 5, 2019, the Federalist Society's Ohio lawyers chapters hosted the 2019 Ohio Chapters Conference in Columbus, OH. The first panel of the conference discussed "The Law and Policy of Redistricting Reform".
The Supreme Court will hear argument this term in cases presenting the question whether courts may strike down “partisan gerrymanders.” This presents a number of questions. Some are legal: Do state legislatures act unconstitutionally if they draw districts that favor one party or the other? If so, what are courts to do about it? Others relate to policy: Are so-called “partisan gerrymanders” even troubling? Is there a chance of meaningful reform at the state level? And what does Ohio’s experience with redistricting reform teach us about this? The panel will address these questions and more.

On April 5, 2019, the Federalist Society's Ohio lawyers chapters hosted the 2019 Ohio Chapters Conference in Columbus, OH. The second panel covered "The Future of Administrative Deference".
More and more judges, advocates, and scholars are calling on the courts to reexamine the deference paid to administrative agencies’ legal interpretations. This debate has attracted the most attention at the federal level. But the same is now occurring in state courts—including in Ohio, where just last year four justices on the Supreme Court of Ohio questioned the appropriateness of deference to agency interpretations. This distinguished panel will address these developments, make some predictions about future developments, and discuss whether those likely developments are good, bad, or neither.

On April 5, 2019, the Federalist Society's Ohio lawyers chapters hosted the 2019 Ohio Chapters Conference in Columbus, OH. The third and final panel explored "Emerging Religious Liberty Issues in Ohio".
Intensifying public debates over religious liberty have spilled into the courts, with some cases making their way to the United States Supreme Court. Ohio is no stranger to this national trend. Panelists will discuss Tree of Life Christian Schools v. City of Upper Arlington, an Ohio zoning dispute involving religious liberty claims under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), for which a petition for writ of certiorari was recently filed in the United States Supreme Court after the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit sided with the city. Panelists will also discuss the Ohio Constitution's provision regarding religious liberty, which explicitly refers to “the rights of conscience," and discuss if and how this provision of the Ohio Constitution should be interpreted differently than the First Amendment with respect to religious liberty issues.
