The Internet has become an essential part of almost every American's life. The livelihood of many people and business are tied directly to the availability of the Internet.

More importantly, the Internet has become the primary platform for the expression and dissemination of ideas. Using the Internet, literally anyone can express themselves while reaching an audience that is unparalleled by any other …
Vol. 2 No. 2, Summer 2011; Misinterpreting The Child's Best Interests Standard: A Closer Look At In Re Marriage Of Guthrie And Illinois Child Removal Law, Devin Noble
Northern Illinois Law Review Supplement
In Illinois and throughout most of the United States, there are nearly half as many divorces in a given year as there are marriages. The divorce experience can become extremely complicated when children are involved. Illinois parents who receive sole custody of their children can move anywhere within the state without court approval, but must seek permission from the court to permanently remove a child from the state. Such petitions for removal should only be granted if the removal is in the best interests of the child. One important consideration in determining the best interests of any child is the …

Vol. 2 No. 2, Summer 2011; Particularly Serious Crimes And Withholding Of Removal: An Aggravating Question, Jessica Fiocchi
Northern Illinois Law Review Supplement
The highly controversial topic of the removal of non-citizens from the United States is even more complex than most people realize. Besides the widely-known issues of the stretch on our nation's resources and immigrants' search for better lives, there are also issues of international relationships and threats to basic human rights. The United States has an international commitment not to remove aliens back to their home country if that country would be likely to subject the person to threats to their life or freedom, including kidnapping, torture, or murder. The U.S. denies this withholding of removal to those who have …

Vol. 2 No. 1, Spring 2011; Nolan & Ready--"Settling" For Less Than Perfect In Illinois When Determining The Role Defendants Play In The Litigation After They Settle, Benjamin W. Meyer
Northern Illinois Law Review Supplement
This Note examines the interplay of two decisions made by the Illinois Supreme Court during their 2008 – 2009 term—Ready v. United/Goedecke Services, Inc. and Nolan v. WEIL-McLain. Interpreting the statutory wording of the Illinois joint and several liability statute (735 ILCS 5/2-1117), Ready held that settled defendants may not be included on jury verdict forms when apportioning fault. The later decided Nolan held that a defendant may submit evidence of settled defendants in support of his sole proximate cause defense. This Note points out that the Nolan decision renders the Ready decision unworkable, because once a jury is exposed …

This Comment analyzes the recent passage of Senate Bill 1716, the Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act, which extends the “same [state] legal obligations, responsibilities, protections, and benefits” to same- sex couples as are available to heterosexual couples. This Comment begins by discussing the background of legal recognition for same-sex unions. Next, this Comment discusses the challenges that same-sex partners and their children were confronted with due to the lack of legal recognition of their relationships and then delves into counter-arguments to such recognition. Moreover, this Comment argues that the legislature took the correct and honorable action in …
