EMPLOYMENT OF SPECIAL COUNSEL FOR SUIT IN THE COURT OF CLAIMS (4) The Attorney General of Illinois reports that there has been filed in the Court of Claims the case of Jessie Taylor versus the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. The Attorney General suggests that the University take over the defense. In substance, the complainant alleges negligence and malpractice by members of the staff of the Department of Operative Dentistry and claims $2,500 damages, the maximum for which the University is liable under the Court of Claims Act. Information supplied by the College of Dentistry indicates that the allegations in the complaint are erroneous and that the University has a valid defense. Since all of the work necessary to defending this suit must be done in Chicago, the Legal Counsel's Office recommends that the University employ special counsel and suggests Joseph H . Hinshaw of Hinshaw and Culbertson, Chicago, or Albert E. Jenner, Jr., of Poppenhusen, Johnston, Thompson, and Raymond, also of Chicago. I concur in the recommendation. On motion of Mr. Livingston, the Office of the Legal Counsel was authorized to employ Mr. Joseph H. Hinshaw, if he is available, for this case.
