DueProcess JusticiabilityDoctri
Whether a state trial court can create a hybrid form of contempt which avoids traditional constitutional and legislative safeguards and prevents appellate review through creating mootness
QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW 1. Whether a state trial court can create a hybrid form of contempt which avoids traditional constitutional and legislative safeguards and prevents appellate review through creating mootness. 2. Whether the application of mootness to a contempt finding allows for a denial of appellate review of the underlying restraining order that constitutes a prior restraint of speech and a disenfranchisement of the right to petition when doing so forecloses any future review as well. ii IL.
