Appellate Court Affirms $16 Million Settlement for Northwestern Football Player

In 2007, the Illinois Appellate Court affirmed a Cook County judge’s authority to approve a $16 million settlement in the death of Rashidi Wheeler, a Northwestern University football player. Wheeler’s mother, Linda Will, objected to the settlement and argued that Cook County Circuit Judge Kathy M. Flanagan did not have the authority to approve it. Thomas A. Demetrio, attorney for George Wheeler, Jr., is featured in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin's  front page story on the Court's decision.
