Loyola Law School Law Reviews
Law Reviews
Loyola Law School students edit and publish three printed law reviews: the Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review, the Loyola of Los Angeles International and Comparative Law Review and the Loyola of Los Angeles Entertainment Law Review. Staff members and editors receive academic units for successful completion of their writing, editorial and production requirements.
Participation as a staff member on one of these publications affords students with an exceptional opportunity to improve legal writing skills. Staff members are selected on the basis of academic performance and a writing competition. Day and evening upper-division students are eligible for selection. The boards of editors are chosen from among the staff members, based upon superior contributions, legal research and writing skills, leadership, and demonstrated editorial ability.

Can my trucking injury case be filed in Illinois?
If you have been injured in a truck driving accident, you may be wondering whether your worker’s comp case can be filed in Illinois. For an injured truck driver, this is an important question to ask, as the jurisdiction of the case can end up having a big impact on your benefits.
There are three main scenarios in which the Illinois Worker’s Compensation Commission would have jurisdiction over a trucking injury:
-If the accident took place in Illinois, If the employer is principally located in Illinois, or If the contract for hire is in Illinois
This means that a truck driver whose home terminal is in Illinois can make a claim for workers comp benefits in Illinois even if they were injured while on the road in another State. It also means that truck drivers who get hurt while passing through Illinois can file a claim in Illinois, even if their employer is located in another state.
If you have been injured on the road, and you are unsure where and how to file your workers comp claim, call us at (312)-726-5567 to begin your consultation. We can advise you whether Illinois is the right state to file for you. We have handled well over 30,000 claims for injured workers throughout the state of Illinois.
