How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• vacating a judgment regarding a former Illinois state’s attorney’s discriminatory practices when “[n]o allegations in the -7- complaint cited any conduct of [the new state’s attorney] as the basis for equitable or any other relief,” potentially mooting the complaint and the appeal
• “to determine whether respondents have a live controversy ... we must look to the charges they press” (emphasis in original)
• in light of subsequent election of a different state’s attorney, case vacated and remanded for a determination of whether former dispute is now moot and whether plaintiffs may amend their complaint to add claims against the new state’s attorney
