This chapter details how, a full year before his defamation trial against Bill Page and the newspaper was to begin (and two years after the lawsuit was filed), Bob Thomas started his three-year stint as the chief justice of the Supreme Court in September of 2005 after being chosen by his colleagues to follow Justice Mary Ann McMorrow. Among other duties, it was Thomas's job as chief to set the discussion agenda for the justices when the court was in term. A few years earlier, Thomas participated in a conference in DuPage County, the Roger O'Reilly Symposium, which was named after a deceased attorney from Wheaton who long exemplified the virtues attorneys were expected to display. Among other presentations at the symposium, Thomas participated on a panel discussion about courtroom professionalism. What followed was the establishment of the Illinois Supreme Court Committee on Civility.

Abstract The study background In 2015 a county sheriff department in Michigan began a training program for its deputies on administration of naloxone for non-medical providers. Methods A descriptive analysis was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. Data collected from the Sheriff’s department allowed the study to quantify the incidence of naloxone administration, describe characteristics related to the administration, and report on aggregate outcomes. Results Of the reported 184 incidents involving naloxone use the sheriff department had an overall successful administration rate of 94.6% in the cases from 2015 to 2017. It was also noted that the overall number of naloxone administrations showed an upward trend with a greater number of trained deputies. Conclusion The outcome of training non-medical first responders in naloxone administration has been shown to be successful with regard to resuscitation of patients with opioid overdose.
