ADA -- Legal scholar and author Stephen B. Presser will discuss “Do Law Professors Really Understand American Law?” at noon on Feb. 16 in the moot courtroom (room 129) in Ohio Northern University’s Pettit College of Law. His talk, which is part of the Dean’s Lecture Series and is co-sponsored by ONU’s student chapter of the Federalist Society, is free and open to the public.

February is Valentine's month and there are many ways the month is used to promote friendship and affection. Here's a new approach to spreading some good cheer. Mrs. Hersey and the Ada school cafeteria provided positive messages on banannas. Wonder what they'll come up with tomorrow.
