FAQ
15.01 Proximate Cause--Definition When I use the expression “proximate cause,” I mean a cause that, in the natural or ordinary course of events, produced the plaintiff's injury. It need not be the only cause, nor the last or nearest cause. It is sufficient if it combines with another cause resulting in the injury.
This is known as comparative negligence. If the plaintiff's contributory negligence is more than 50% of the total proximate cause of the injury or damage for which recovery is sought, the defendants shall be found not liable. The term “plaintiff” includes a counterplaintiff.
Illinois requires a jury trial in all criminal cases including ordinance violations. Juveniles are entitled to a jury trial only under the Habitual Juvenile Offender Act.
Litigants or parties representing themselves in court without the assistance of an attorney are known as pro se litigants. “Pro se” is Latin for “in one's own behalf.” The right to appear pro se in a civil case in federal court is defined by statute 28 U.S.C. § 1654.
Within 14 days after a new case is docketed, counsel must file an Entry of Appearance.
The Appearance form is required in most civil court cases. For example, you must file an Appearance when: o Someone sues you and you want to participate in the court case. If you do not file an Appearance and go to court as needed, the court case might go ahead without you and the court might rule against you.
O You must file the Appearance form in the county where the court case is filed. o Make copies of your original Appearance for yourself and each party in the case. o Bring the original Appearance and the copies to the Circuit Clerk at the courthouse. Appearance, and return these copies to you.
Rule 41 - Judicial Conference (a)Duties. There shall be a Judicial Conference to consider the work of the courts, to suggest improvements in the administration of justice. The Judicial Conference shall be the body to strategically plan for the Illinois judicial branch.
By this amendment, Rule 23 creates a presumption against disposing of Appellate Court cases by full, published opinions and authorizes a third type of disposition by summary order in select circumstances. The concept of the traditional "Rule 23 order" remains, but conciseness is encouraged.
For jury instructions to be effective, they must be clear and simple. Sentences should be short; instruc- • tions should contain no more than a few sentences, cover only one topic, and be directly related to the circumstances of the case (they should not be abstract statements of the law).
