1957] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 529
$6,875. Those services included, among others, a careful examination of the entire
record in the case, the briefs filed in the trial court, the appeal papers, and the
abstract of record and briefs filed in the Supreme Court by the plaintiffs; conferences
with the University Legal Counsel and with Professors Russell N. Sullivan
and Rubin G. Cohn who had assisted the Legal Counsel in the trial court; the
preparation and filing of additional appeal papers, of an additional abstract of
record, and of the University's brief in the Supreme Court; and the oral argument
of the case in the Supreme Court.
The case presented several issues of great importance to the University; the
decision of the Supreme Court in it is very gratifying and will prove very helpful
and beneficial to the University in numerous respects; and the charge made by
Mr. Jenner's firm for his and Mr. Marshall's services in the case is proper and
reasonable having due regard to the importance of the case, the results obtained,
and the time and work they were required to devote to it. It, in fact, constitutes
appreciably less than is usually charged by their firm for services which consume
as much time and are of comparable difficulty and importance.
Accordingly, the Legal Counsel and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend
that an appropriation of $6,875 be made to the Legal Counsel's office
from the General Reserve Fund and that they be authorized to pay for the services
of Mr. Jenner and Mr. Marshall in this case with and from the same.
I concur.
On motion of Mrs. Holt, payment for these services was authorized,
as recommended, and the appropriation requested was made by
the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Hughes, Mr.
Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson;
no, none; absent, Mr, Herrick, Mr. Stratton, Mr. Swain.
