Salvi Law Clerk Jaclyn Kurth Published in The John Marshall Law Review

Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard is proud to announce that law clerk Jaclyn Kurth was published in the John Marshall Law School’s Law Review.

Jaclyn’s article discusses how Illinois Rule of Evidence 407 still stands reserved almost 10 years after an attempted codification and analyzes the history and policy considerations behind inadmissibility of subsequent remedial measures.

After weighing the varying outcomes of appellate jurisprudence, the article ultimately suggests a balancing test to be utilized in cases that involve the feasibility exception.
