Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether Carlson's constitutional right to due process and constitutional right to receive full faith and credit of a final judgment was violated

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW. Whether Carlson’s constitutional right to due process and constitutional right to receive full faith and credit of a final judgment was violated when certain Illinois courts ignored, refused to acknowledge, consider, address or comment in any manner on the evidence presented, which included a prior final judgment ruling on a dispositive issue, and the law presented that established that Carlson’s has a viable claim for legal malpractice claim against Cronin for his failure to timely file a legal malpractice claim against Drinker before the statute of limitations and statute of repose expired. Whether the underlying proceedings were a “sham” because the conclusion was predetermined and not based upon the undisputed evidence and law presented by both parties at the hearings in this case. Whether a trial court in Illinois violated the Full Faith and Credit Act and 28 U.S.C. 1738 by refusing to comply with a final judgment rendered previously by the same judge in the same matter but involving another party. i
