News: Welcome to the Mark McCoy Paralegal and Legal Education Board. I started this as a project when I was enrolled in Paralegal Studies at SWIC, and it has since become a place for both paralegal students and other students of law to exchange information. This site has become quite popular with students at SWIC, and as a result has placed an unexpected burden upon the server. I am offering subscriptions for a semester worth of access for $10 to offset the additional server load and my time having to maintain this site. The site used to be maintained for free, but the number of people using this site has begun to take quite a bit of my time. To sign up, please click the PayPal link on this page: http://www.paralegal.markmccoy.com to make your payment and provide me a username and password. I'll set your site up and email you the information needed. Thanks, and good luck!

Question No. 19. Does not compute.

Has anybody found anything about a Justice McMarrow in any Illinois case?
I cannot find a Justice McMarrow, period. Any help.  ???

Re: Westlaw Exercise Issue No. 2 with Question number 20
« Reply #2 on: March 04, 2006, 11:21:24 AM »

Question 20:
In headnote “necessity of consent in general,” how many cases were cited in “most cases” in Illinois and how many of the cases cited Baby Richard?

Necessity of consent in general has two personas, one is strictly "Necessity of consent in general" and the other is "Natural Parents, Necessity of consent in general."
One of them references Baby Richard and one does not. We were asked to look for "Necessity of consent in general", not the "Natural Parents..." version.

Trick question, maybe?
