TEMPORARY REMOTE ACCESS TO WESTLAW & LEXIS CONTINUE FOR MEMBERS The Law Library has been able to offer remote access to Westlaw for many months during the pandemic. Westlaw's offer is still the same, but Lexis recently changed its offer. Since these offers could end at any time, please take advantage of them while they are still available. 
Westlaw is continuing to offer Cleveland Law Library members temporary free remote access to Westlaw for a trial period of 20 hours of usage over 14 days. Content includes primary law, secondary sources, litigation, and Practical Law on the Westlaw Classic platform. If you have not already taken advantage of this member benefit, please follow these steps:
Lexis has discontinued its offer of 30 days of free remote access, but it is still offering Law Library Members the option to request a free 3-Day Pass to Lexis from our Librarians. If you are interested in obtaining a temporary 3-Day Pass, please contact Kathy Dugan at 216-861-5070 or Kathy.Dugan@clelaw.lib.oh.us. |
NEW OHIO CONTRACT STATUTES OF LIMITATION With COVID raging last year, you may not have heard that the limitations periods for contract breach actions in Ohio changed in 2021. As of June 16, 2021, O.R.C. § 2305.06 was amended to reduce the statute of limitations for claims based on a written contract from 8 to 6 years, and O.R.C. § 2305.07(A) was amended to reduce the statute of limitations for claims based on an oral contract from 6 to 4 years. Some of our Members probably remember the days when the written contract statute of limitations was 15 years and the oral contract period was 6 years. For more information on these key changes, including which types of contracts these amendments cover and whether they apply retroactively, join the Law Library for our live, online June 28th CLE entitled The Implications of Recent Changes to the Statute of Limitations Periods for Contracts in Ohio. Registration for this event can be located at this link: https://attendee.gototraining.com/65kq6/register/7026577912387917057. |
