Katherine Hine is American former lawyer and child protection activist. She practiced law in Chillicothe, Ohio and Oklahoma. As of 2024, she has been the co-president of the Ohio chapter of the Families Civil Liberties Union.[1]
Hine earned a bachelor's degree from Ohio State University in 1966, a J.D. degree from the University of Toledo in 1976,[2] and studied at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand during 1982.[citation needed]
In 1994, she was a candidate for district court judge for the 15th Judicial District of Oklahoma, but lost to incumbent Lyle Burris.[3]
In 1997, while she was the attorney for the child advocacy group Stop Child Abuse Now, she involved herself in a child abuse legal proceedings, at the behest of the grandmother of the allegedly abused child. Not being an attorney of record, she spoke to the attorney of one of the parties—the father—and then sent a fax to the judge, questioning the Oklahoma Department of Human Services' conduct related to the case. The father's attorney then filed an ethics complaint to the Oklahoma Supreme Court against her alleging that the unsolicited fax was a breach of ex parte contact rules with a sitting judge, even though she had not formally represented a party in the case. The court decided against Hines for violating ethical rules prohibiting conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice, issuing her a public reprimand instead of a license suspension or revocation, deeming that she had altruistic motives.[4][5]
In 2009, she was the attorney for an organization of Chillicothe, Ohio residents who were protesting traffic enforcement cameras,[6] which had been approved for use in 2007.[7] Hine sought a class action restraining order against Redflex Traffic Systems Inc., the city, and its mayor, to stop their use,[6] claiming that they are incompatible with state statute and the Constitution.[8] Dissatisfied with the judge's grant of delay to the opponent, the organization withdrew the lawsuit opting to put the matter on the ballot,[8] which subsequently succeeded, outlawing the cameras.[9]
