"Laws" are not derived from "case law" - DECISIONS of the court are derived from case law.

Additional information:

Case law in Ohio is established by having written opinions of court cases published in one of the appropriate Ohio Official Reports. The three official reporters in Ohio are the Ohio Supreme Court Reports, Ohio Appellate Reports and, for trial court cases, Ohio Miscellaneous Reports. All Ohio Supreme Court opinions are published; however only those appellate and trial court opinions that the Ohio Supreme Court Committee to Review Reporting of Opinions approves for publication are published.

Once an opinion is published in the official reports, it becomes precedent for future cases having similar sets of facts under similar legal grounds. The precedential authority of a reported opinion is what makes it "case law."

Opinions which are not approved for publication have no such precedential authority and are not considered "case law."

Can legislation override case law?

Yes, legislation can override case law. When a legislative body enacts a law, it can establish new legal standards that take precedence over previous judicial interpretations or rulings.
