Description: The legal staff maintained requisition files as part of the statutory responsibilities of the governor's office.

The files also include copies of letters signed by the governor of Ohio sent to governors of other states requesting the extradition of accused or convicted felons, copies of the requisition warrants, and letters from the governor of Ohio to the Ohio county prosecutors noting what actions have been taken.
