statue of ohio's non-compete clause for prof. employment
I am trying to find either the (specific) place online to look up the Ohio codes or information on non-compete clauses in employment contracts for professionals (veterinarian). I know that 5 states, (not Ohio), have made non-compete clauses illegal, and the rest you have to check state by state. Great - but I don't know how.
At this time it is not a 100 dollar question, so I'd like to find the answer before it is!
Thanks! Pls copy answer to my email; tamajunk@hotmail.com

Ohio non-compete law is made by judges
Ohio does not have a statutory law on non-competition agreements. Instead, Ohio's law is made by judges. The non-compete FAQ article is based on Ohio non-compete law. Ann Lugbill answered an Ask MEL question with some citations to the Ohio cases that explain Ohio non-compete law. You can find her answer at http://www.myemploymentlawyer.com/mel/answer.php3?answer_id=1644
You may have to copy and paste that link in your browser for it to work.
Once you have the case citation, you should be able to find the case itself by going go http://www.clelaw.lib.oh.us/public/DECISION/Oh_sup.htm or try
http://www.findlaw.com/11stategov/oh/ohca.html
Good luck,
