(Il., filed October 7, 2024): Arguing against the elimination of the state’s intrastate forum non conveniens doctrine. Intrastate forum non conveniens is a valuable and fair mechanism for courts to address unjustifiable court shopping. Additionally, advances in communication technology do not eliminate the need for intrastate forum non conveniens. Unjustifiable forum shopping burdens courts and jurors and tarnishes the state’s civil justice system.
