Under current Illinois law, criminals who have been adjudicated guilty of committing certain types of sex offenses can, at any point during their incarceration, be involuntarily committed indefinitely. They are sent to the Treatment and Detention Facility in Rushville, Illinois, where they are to undergo treatment for various disorders, and are not released until the Department of Human Services determines they no longer present a danger of re-offending. While this is the intent of the law, in practice this secondary commitment is violating these offenders' Due Process rights. This Comment examines the Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act in Illinois; its …

This Article discusses the ability of healthcare agents to bind their principals with arbitration agreements when admitting their principals to nursing homes.

First in this Note, background information is provided regarding …

Big-game baiting is hunting’s civil war of the soul, a battle of ideas like few the sport has ever seen. Most debates in the hunting community deal with the mechanics of the sport, nuts-and-bolts issues such as season dates, equipment and management strategies of wildlife agencies. This one is different. It questions the heart, soul, and motive of a hunter–and that inflames deep passions. The argument has been waged between brothers in the world’s oldest sport at hunting lodges, wildlife agencies, seats of government, and the ballot box. This Comment canvases and attempts to demystify the camouflage of pro and …
