Commentary (January 1, 1998)
During its eighteen months of study, the Supreme Court's Domestic Violence Task Force determined that due to the variety of protection order forms used by Ohio courts, it can be difficult for law enforcement officers to recognize valid protection orders and understand the pertinent provisions of such orders. The Task Force also discovered that misconceptions exist in regard to the penalties for violating protection orders. Upon recommendation of the Task Force, the Court developed this rule and Forms 10.02 -A and 10-C to address these concerns.
