Download or read book Presuit Discovery and Evidence Preservation in Illinois Circuit Courts written by Jeffrey A. Parness and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Circumstances supporting presuit equitable discovery bills in Illinois are illustrated by a few recent Illinois circuit court proceedings. In one, after Dr. David Dao, a United Airlines passenger was removed by Chicago officers from a plane in April, 2017, his attorneys soon thereafter sought an “emergency bill of discovery” seeking evidence preservation involving, e.g., any surveillance video recording on passenger boarding; the passenger list; the employee and crew list; and all incident reports. In another, following the death of two people in a condominium complex fire in January, 2013, the widow of one decedent obtained an emergency bill of discovery about a week later allowing a private investigation as well as and ordering preservation of documents (including inspection and maintenance records), recordings, and photos. And in a third, in July, 2012, following a hospital and a foundation's alleged failure to maintain properly frozen human sperm samples in April, 2012, a Cook County chancery court judge ordered respondents to preserve and release documents related to the failure upon the filing by prospective plaintiffs of “an emergency bill of discovery.”Such equitables bill of discovery aimed at evidence preservation are exercises of auxiliary or ancillary jurisdiction that presupposes the potential exercise of primary jurisdiction by some tribunal later. Today they should be available at least to secure an evidence preservation order where there is some concern by a petitioner about later evidence availability where the respondent allegedly has a duty to preserve, which can arise in Illinois under either tort or discovery law principles. They should also be available for those seeking a judicial declaration that there are no applicable preservation duties though there has been an evidence preservation demand. To remove uncertainties regarding such equitable bills and to unify trial court practices, a new Illinois Supreme Court Rule is needed. Such a rule should set out procedural and substantive requisites for presuit discovery initiatives aimed at evidence preservation.

Download or read book Civil Procedure for Federal and State Courts written by Jeffrey A. Parness and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 904 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil Procedure for Federal and State Courts covers all the major topics found in the standard Civil Procedure coursebook, but supplements that coverage with areas not explored in other texts--areas of great importance to attorneys in the actual practice of law. Thus, it has materials on court structure; judicial selection and disqualification; specialized courts and administrative adjudication; the Federal Arbitration Act; liens and other nonparty interests; preservation of evidence; ex parte contacts; unreasonable searches; informal discovery; settlement agreements; and enforcement of judgments. The book presents a variety of materials illuminating the similarities and differences between federal and state court practices (e.g., materials on court structure, judicial selection, case assignments, pleadings, compelled joinder, compelled discovery or disclosure, jury trial rights, appellate review, and issue preclusion). Professor Parness' experience has shown that the contrast tends to prompt lively class discussion of appropriate policies. To bring key concepts into focus, there are over 100 review problems. The problems allow you to choose where more significant class time is spent, adaptable from year to year, depending on student interests, current events, and the like.

Download or read book Representing Yourself in Federal Court written by United States Disctrict Court and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook is designed to help people dealing with civil lawsuits in federal court without legal representation. Proceeding without a lawyer is called proceeding "pro se1," a Latin phrase meaning "for oneself," or sometimes "in propria persona," meaning "in his or her own person." Representing yourself in a lawsuit can be complicated, time consuming, and costly. Failing to follow court procedures can mean losing your case. For these reasons, you are urged to work with a lawyer if possible. Chapter 2 gives suggestions on finding a lawyer. Do not rely entirely on this Handbook. This Handbook provides a summary of civil lawsuit procedures, but it may not cover all procedures that may apply in your case. It also does not teach you about the laws that will control your case. Make sure you read the applicable federal and local court rules and do your own research at a law library or online to understand your case. The United States District Court for the Northern District of California has Clerk's Offices in the San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland courthouses. Clerk's Office staff can answer general questions, but they cannot give you any legal advice. For example, they cannot help you decide what to do in your lawsuit, tell you what the law means, or even advise you when documents are due. There are Legal Help Centers in the San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose courthouses where you can get free help with your lawsuit from an attorney who can help you prepare documents and give limited legal advice. This attorney will not be your lawyer and you will still be representing yourself. See Chapter 2 for more details.
Download or read book The Collapse of Constitutional Remedies written by Aziz Z. Huq and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book describes and explains the failure of the federal courts of the United States to act and to provide remedies to individuals whose constitutional rights have been violated by illegal state coercion and violence. This remedial vacuum must be understood in light of the original design and historical development of the federal courts. At its conception, the federal judiciary was assumed to be independent thanks to an apolitical appointment process, a limited supply of adequately trained lawyers (which would prevent cherry-picking), and the constraining effect of laws and constitutional provision. Each of these checks quickly failed. As a result, the early federal judicial system was highly dependent on Congress. Not until the last quarter of the nineteenth century did a robust federal judiciary start to emerge, and not until the first quarter of the twentieth century did it take anything like its present form. The book then charts how the pressure from Congress and the White House has continued to shape courts behaviour-first eliciting a mid-twentieth-century explosion in individual remedies, and then driving a five-decade long collapse. Judges themselves have not avidly resisted this decline, in part because of ideological reasons and in part out of institutional worries about a ballooning docket. Today, as a result of these trends, the courts are stingy with individual remedies, but aggressively enforce the so-called "structural" constitution of the separation of powers and federalism. This cocktail has highly regressive effects, and is in urgent need of reform"--
