View this case - free  

Overview: State human rights agency's chief legal counsel's decision to sustain dismissal of job applicant's charge of hiring discrimination was not an abuse of discretion; job applicant failed to show a prima facie case of employment discrimination, and, thus, did not show the Illinois Human Rights Act, 775 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/1-101, had been violated.

In re Marriage of Thornton, No. 3-05-0722, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, THIRD DISTRICT, April 17, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: In a post-dissolution matter, a court held that any modification or enforcement of a judgment of dissolution entered in Illinois must be initiated by the filing of a petition and notice. As a result, a trial court erred by terminating an ex-wife's maintenance under 750 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/510(a), (c) merely upon ex-husband's oral assertions.

In re Marriage of Waddick, No. 2-06-0363, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, SECOND DISTRICT, April 17, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: The court lacked jurisdiction over a wife's appeal in a dissolution case. The decision that the wife filed a motion to reconsider was not a final judgment because it lacked provisions conforming to 750 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/602.1(b), and the wife had not filed a notice of appeal from the final judgment as required by Ill. Sup. Ct. R. 303(a).

People v. Kuhns, No. 2-05-0442, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, SECOND DISTRICT, April 17, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel (U.S. Const. amend. VI; Ill. Const. art. I, § 8) failed because he could not establish prejudice. The State overwhelmingly established defendant's direct participation in the destruction of the victim's mailbox. The trial would have been no different even without counsel's alleged deficiencies.
