Supreme Court, Ohio State Host Judicial Scientific Training Seminar

Ohio’s Supreme Court and OSU recently held another seminar in a series designed to make judges more informed about matters of science and technology. From the press release:

The Supreme Court of Ohio, in cooperation with the Ohio State University… hosted the first Ohio session of a national program designed to prepare judges to preside over complex scientific issues likely to come before their courts.

[The] session at Ohio State focused on agricultural issues, such as air, ground and water quality associated with farming operations, genetic modification and animal and human health.

It’s good to see Ohio take the lead in educating judges about science and technology. For one thing, they'll know what to do in case something like this happens.
