Records of ACLU of Ohio attorneys document preparation for the retrial of Krause v. Rhodes in 1978. Because the retrial was the culmination of a long, difficult legal battle for accountability in the deaths of four students and the injury of nine others, the collection includes not just materials assembled specifically for the 1978 trial, but also materials gathered for previous lawsuits related to the May 4th, 1970, shootings at Kent State University.

It also includes materials produced by the attorneys and their staff, such as correspondence, research memoranda, legal stragety communications, and witness files of individuals who testified at one or more trials.
