A Finley motion is filed when an appellate lawyer wants to withdraw from a case because there is belief that it is frivolous or "there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal," said Richard Kling, a defense attorney and clinical professor of law at Illinois Institute of Technology's Chicago-Kent College of Law.
“If there’s a boom, there’s definitely going to be a bust,” says Mar Hicks, an associate professor of technology history at Illinois Institute of Technology.
“I think one of two things is happening: (1) they’re going ahead and deciding it on the merits or (2) there is at least one justice who thinks they should be deciding it on the merits and so is writing a dissent to the dismissal,” says Carolyn Shapiro, law professor and founder of Chicago-Kent’s Institute on the Supreme Court of the United States.
“You can have tokens that look like securities and commodities and money and property all at once,” says Nelson Rosario, a technology lawyer and adjunct professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law. “There aren’t a lot of assets out there that are as dynamic as these things.”

Disney’s Galactic Starcruiser is in many respects somewhere between a game and a playground, writes Carly Kocurek, associate dean of the Lewis College of Science and Letters and professor of digital humanities and media studies. It has a narrative arc, like many a good game, and allows the “players” a great deal of freedom to explore and enjoy this world-within-the-world on their own. Rich play like this incorporates all six of the major components of play identified by Scott Eberle: pleasure, anticipation, surprise, understanding, strength and poise. In other words, it runs the gamut of the human experience, and allows us to explore and enhance our own capabilities.
“Much AR technology struggles to connect with ordinary people or only connects for a fleeting moment, as a fad or a game,” says Mar Hicks, a historian of technology and professor at Illinois Institute of Technology.. “Given the price point of Apple's offering, that's unlikely to change.”
In the middle of an open field on the Illinois Institute of Technology campus, Rebecca S. Graff and her archeology students are reconstructing what was once home to the Armour Flats—apartment-style housing built in the 1880s by Armour & Company meatpackers to house their employees in Bronzeville.
A team of student archaeologists is digging to tell the long-buried stories of a grassy South Side site which once housed meatpacking officials, a church congregation and academics at a predecessor to the Illinois Institute of Technology. Students and professors at north suburban Lake Forest College and Morton College in Cicero began excavating the former Armour Mission and Armour Flats, 35 W. 33rd St. in Bronzeville on May 22.
Britt Burton-Freeman, director of the Illinois Institute of Technology’s Center for Nutrition Research, worries the focus on organics may be keeping people from eating enough fruits and vegetables. In her survey of 510 low-income shoppers—most of whom said they preferred organic but couldn’t afford it—talk of pesticides made some less likely to want to buy produce at all. “Food marketers need to have a clearer understanding of how their messages may influence produce consumption,” she says.
