Irene Keyse-Walker has an appellate practice.
Since 1982, she has argued hundreds of appeals in state and federal courts, on a wide variety of issues. The first Ohio lawyer to be elected to the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers, she has long been a proponent of the appellate specialty. Cases she has argued before the Ohio Supreme Court have established standards for punitive damages in products liability and insurance bad faith cases, determined that the birth of a healthy child as the result of medical malpractice is not a compensable damage, and formulated the prima facie requirements of male-on-male sexual harassment claims. Other state and federal appellate decisions include reversals of multi-million dollar jury verdicts in negligence, pharmaceutical, products liability, and Ohio workplace intentional tort cases.
