Asbestos law is constantly changing- federally and locally. If a lawyer doesn't specialize in asbestos litigation then they could act on outdated information and provide inadequate representation to an asbestos exposure victim. That matters. https://bit.ly/2Py181T

Several years ago, our partners established the Cooney & Conway Chair in Advocacy to support the scholarship and teaching of legal advocacy at Loyola's School of Law. The designation of the Judge-in-Residence was created under that Chair and it is currently held by a man who's making waves and we're proud to have in the position!

This past August, in Jamison v. McClendon, an opinion cited by courts, law professors, and popular news outlets, Loyola's Cooney & Conway Judge-in-Residence Judge Reeves recounted our nation’s racial history and the development of qualified immunity
jurisprudence:

"Under that law, the officer who transformed a short traffic stop into an almost two-hour, life-altering ordeal is entitled to qualified immunity. But let us not be fooled by legal jargon. Immunity is not exoneration. And the harm in this case to one man sheds light on the harm done to the nation by this manufactured doctrine."
