Foreword
The judges of the Eighth District Court of Appeals have adopted these local rules under Section 5(B), Article IV, Ohio Constitution, App.R. 41, and Sup.R. 5(A)(1) and (2), and filed them with the Clerk of the Supreme Court of Ohio under Sup.R. 5(A)(3). These authorities allow courts to publish rules "concerning local practice in their respective courts which are not inconsistent with the rules promulgated by the Supreme Court."
These local rules are not designed to provide a comprehensive scheme of local practice. Rather, they complement the rule structure of the Ohio Rules of Appellate Procedure. For that reason, these local rules are numbered to correspond to the applicable Ohio Rules of Appellate Procedure.
These local rules shall be cited as "Loc.App.R. ___."
