Terri Enns, Clinical Professor of Law and Senior Fellow and Web Editor with Election Law @ Moritz, has been part of the team since the beginning of the project. Prior to coming to Moritz to teach in the Legislation Clinic, Ms. Enns served as Legal Counsel to the Ohio Senate Minority Caucus, where she regularly delved into Ohio's statutory oversight of campaigns and elections, working with election law both as it was being created and as it was applied. On a volunteer basis, she worked with several campaigns.

For the Legislation Clinic, Enns supervises second and third year law students in placements in and around the Ohio Statehouse, where election-related issues play themselves out on a daily basis. The goal of the course, which includes a classroom component in addition to the work in placement offices, is to help students experience the process of law-making on the state level. While not focused exclusively on election law, the course readings and student work touch on many election-related issues, including term limits, campaign finance, direct democracy, and other election issues more specific to Ohio. Additionally, students may be assigned topics related to election law by their supervisors.

Enns has provided input for a variety of panels focused on election issues, including Campaigning with Character for the Bowhay Institute for Legislative Leadership Development; Current Controversies in Election Law for a panel at Marshall University, and Don't be Disenfranchised: Know Your Voter Rights and Election Law at the Feminist Majority Foundation's Get Out Her Vote 2008: Ohio Summit.

Enns holds a BA in history from Goshen College, a Master of Divinity from Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary, and her JD from the Moritz College of Law.
