Science and Technology’s Rapidly Evolving Impact on the Law – Part 2

Co-sponsored by the Abraham Lincoln Association

Original Program Date: Friday, September 8, 2023

Don’t miss this two part series from ISBA’s 5th Annual Abraham Lincoln’s Legal Legacy seminar, as we take an in-depth look at how inventions and advancements in science and technology create opportunities for lawyers to represent innovators, as well as those clients who are disrupted by the innovation (including the legal profession). The program takes place at the Rock Island Arsenal Museum located on the historic island that supported part of the railroad bridge subject to Lincoln’s famous case of Hurd et al v. Rock Island Bridge Company (often called the Effie Afton trial.) Ft. Armstrong has been on Rock Island since 1816. Army Dr. Emerson was stationed at Ft. Armstrong from 1834 to 1836 and took Dred Scott with him as a slave. Slavery was prohibited in Illinois and that later served as Scott’s claim for freedom in the Dred Scott case. The first rail bridge over the Mississippi used the Island to connect Illinois to Iowa and was finished in 1856 (and struck by the steamboat Effie Afton the same year!). President Lincoln signed the legislation creating the Arsenal in 1862, which became a prison camp for captured Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Join us for this informative, historical look at how Lincoln addressed the science and technology issues of his time, and how lawyers of every generation face similar challenges. Topics include:
  • The ethical issues facing lawyers regarding science and technology innovations;
  • How AI and emerging technology is impacting current lawyers and law practice; and
  • Much more.

Royan v. Chicago State University

Federal 7th Circuit Court
Royan v. Chicago State University
Civil Court
Rehabilitation Act
Citation
Case Number: 
No. 24-1734
Decision Date: 
July 22, 2025
Federal District: 
N.D. Ill., Eastern Div.
Holding: 
Affirmed.
Judge: 
HAMILTON

Plaintiff filed a lawsuit under the Rehabilitation Act alleging that the defendant dismissed her from the College of Pharmacy’s Doctor of Pharmacy program because of a disability. The district court granted summary judgment for the defendant, finding that plaintiff failed to present evidence from which a reasonable jury could conclude that the defendant dismissed her solely on her disability. The Seventh Circuit affirmed explaining that even when the evidence was viewed in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, it showed that defendant accommodated plaintiff’s disabilities and applied its academic standards without discrimination. (KIRSCH and MALDONADO, concurring)
