With its January decision in Coleman v. East Joliet Fire Protection District, the Illinois Supreme Court abolished what was known as the “Public Duty Rule.” This decision will have a tremendous impact on local governments who provide public services to their community – most notably – police and fire departments.

  • General Comments on Tort Immunity
