<p begin="00:00:00.25" end="00:00:05.50">This is your legal minute, brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
<p begin="00:00:05.60" end="00:00:13.00">The district courts of appeals are called intermediate courts of appeals—they must hear every case presented to them.</p>
<p begin="00:00:13.10" end="00:00:16.80">However, there’s another level of appellate court in Ohio.</p>
<p begin="00:00:16.90" end="00:00:21.40">That’s the highest court in the state—it’s called the Supreme Court of Ohio.</p>
<p begin="00:00:21.50" end="00:00:29.90">That court may pick and choose what cases it wants to hear based upon the importance of the case or its constitutional significance.</p>
<p begin="00:00:30.00" end="00:00:36.70">There are seven justices of the Ohio Supreme Court, and they are led by the chief justice of the state.</p>
<p begin="00:00:36.80" end="00:00:43.70">Each of the Supreme Court justices is elected in a nonpartisan election from the entire state.</p>
<p begin="00:00:43.80" end="00:00:52.40">Because they hear such important legal matters, all seven justices sit and hear each case they choose to decide.</p>
<p begin="00:00:52.50" end="00:00:59.40">If a party does not like a decision at this high level, a party may try to get to the United States Supreme Court.</p>
<p begin="00:00:59.50" end="00:01:02.80">However, the chances of that are quite remote.</p>
<p begin="00:01:02.90" end="00:01:07.10">This legal minute is brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
