View this case - free  

Overview: Orders terminating respondent's parental rights were valid, as the trial court's failure to adhere to the procedure for serving notice by publication under 705 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 405/2-15 and 2-16 (2004) did not deprive the trial court of subject matter jurisdiction, and respondent waived the issue of personal jurisdiction.

Overview: The trial court's judgment denying defendant's motion to quash his arrest and suppress a switchblade that was found on his person after the police seized him was affirmed; the seizure that led to the discovery of the knife was justified as an exercise of police community caretaking authority and did not violate the Fourth Amendment.

View this case - free  

Overview: A decision to award a former employee a nonduty, rather than line-of-duty, disability pension was upheld because, inter alia, there was evidence that the underlying causes of his depression and anxiety were independent of his duties as a firefighter/paramedic; his administrative complaint was timely under 735 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/3-103.
