Ohio Supreme Court June 3, 1981, No. 79-983 (State ex rel. Voss v. Northwest Local Board of Education)

lead-opinion

Celebrezze, C. J.

We have stated many times that a writ of mandamus may only be issued where a court finds that the relator has a clear legal right to the relief prayed for; that respondent is under a clear legal duty to perform the requested act; and that relator has no plain and adequate remedy at law. State, ex rel. Heller, v. Miller (1980), 61 Ohio St. 2d 6.
