Hollis Brandt writes and edits Law Dairy. Every guide starts with the Ohio Revised Code, the Ohio Administrative Code and the state agency that enforces the rule, then gets rewritten until a busy reader can act on it in two minutes. Hollis grew up between Columbus and the dairy farms of Wayne County and covers the questions Ohioans actually search for, from window tint to the 7-OH ban. Law Dairy explains the law; it is not legal advice.
