Significant Achievements Related to the Clinical Programs

Mark J. Heyrman

C.J. v. Dept. of Human Services, Nos. 1-99-4248, 1-00-2108 (consolidated), 2002 Ill. App. LEXIS 412 (Ist Dist. May 24, 2002). Illinois Appellate Court unanimously affirms decision of Circuit Court granting injunctive relief to a class of more than 100 persons confined at Elgin Mental Health Center requiring that hospital staff exercise individual professional judgment in determining whether to allow class members to go outside on grounds of hospital unescorted. Injunction ends practices of denying such passes to all class members based upon their status as persons acquitted by reason of insanity. Court also affirmed award of attorneys fees to Mandel Clinic.

Successful campaign as lead members of the Mental Health Summit to restore $20 million to the Illinois state budget for community mental health services.

Recipient of award from the Clinical Legal Education Association, on the tenth anniversary of its founding, for lead role in the creation of that organization.

Randall D. Schmidt

Cooper v. Salazar (N.D. Ill.): On behalf of a state-wide class of victims of discrimination I obtained a permanent injunction barring the Illinois Department of Human Rights from following certain procedures that deprived the class members of their due process rights. 2001 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 17952.

LaFine v. County of Cook (N.D. Ill.): In a sec. 1983 action against Cook County and an individual State's Attorney for failing to clooect back due child support, I won a decision denying the individual State's Attorney either absolute or qualified immunity for his actions.

Randolph Stone

Successfully petitioned, with the MacArthur Justice Center, on behalf of a variety of organizations and individuals, the Circuit Court of Cook County for the appointment of a Special Prosecutor to investigate numerous claims of torture and misconduct by members of the Chicago Police Department.

Successfully represented, with Herschella Conyers and Michelle Geller, neighborhood residents charged with matricide and coerced into a video taped confession. The charges were dismissed, after the client was incarcerated for almost 2 years, when (1) psychological test results revealed the improbability of valid Miranda waiver and the likelihood of psychological and/or physical coercion, and (2) DNA testing eliminated the client as the perpetrator.
