    Professor Edward Lee Cited in Story About 'Banned Words' in Federal Court

    “The term ‘patent troll’ may operate as a moral panic in a way that is detrimental to reasoned analysis and consideration of the root problems related to the issue of abusive patent litigation tactics,” Lee wrote in a law review article. Given the nature of the term and the negative way it has been used in news articles, he concluded that it would be prejudicial in the context of a patent trial.

Or the individual can be detained because of a risk of flight.”

    “Savings accumulated during the COVID lockdown, combined with high COVID-impact payments, made it possible for a substantial part of the workforce, at all income levels, to drop out and maintain lifestyles,” said Henry H.

    Chicago-Kent Professor Harold Krent Pens Editorial on Sheriffs' Refusal to Enforce Weapons Law

    To be sure, judges do not have a monopoly on interpretation of the Constitution. Presidents (and governors) have an independent responsibility to construe the Constitution when deciding whether to sign a bill (as Gov. Pritzker did in this case) or grant a pardon. And, the legislature itself must consider the constitutionality of its own action, as the General Assembly did in enacting the ban. But county sheriffs? It’s their job to enforce the law.

    Chicago-Kent Professor Harold Krent Discusses SAFE-T Act, Separation of Powers

    “What I think the opinion misses is that the legislature plays a vital role in the criminal justice system and always has,” Chicago-Kent Professor Harold Krent said of a judge’s ruling on Illinois’ SAFE-T Act. “In fact it starts with the fact that, what is criminal? Judges don’t decide what’s criminal, the legislature does. What about sentencing? It’s the legislature that sets the parameters of sentencing. ... There is a joint undertaking from the legislature and the judicial.”

    “I’m not suggesting that the legislature drew a perfect line here in terms of when we should decide an individual is dangerous and should not be released prior to the trial, but I do think that it’s up to the legislature to make a good-faith effort to accommodate the interests of safety, of fairness, and that’s what they attempted to do,” said Chicago-Kent Professor Harold Krent.
