[caption id="attachment_9861" align="alignright" width="150" caption="William Mock"][/caption] The John Marshall Law School will host a book release reception in honor of Professor William Mock, Vice-Chair of the ISBA Section on International Law, and his newest book - Human Rights in Europe: Commentary on the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union - Tuesday, April 6 from 5–7 p.m. in Room 3East at The John Marshall Law School, 315 S. Plymouth Court. Human Rights in Europe: Commentary on the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union is designed to help readers understand the European Union’s Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms. Unlike the U.S. Bill of Rights, the Charter provides European citizens with specific rights in areas as diverse as family law, labor law, administrative procedure, and the protection of personal data. Professor Mock joined the John Marshall faculty in 1983 and served as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs from 2004 to 2007. He is the founding director of the law school’s International Law Center and LL.M. programs in comparative law and international economic law. He teaches international and corporate courses at John Marshall – and has published many works on aspects of international law. Prior to joining the John Marshall faculty, Mock practiced international trade law in Washington, D.C. The reception is free and open to the public. Copies of Professor Mock’s book will be available for purchase and signing at the event.

Patrick Moriarity, 66, a longtime attorney with the Cook County public defender's office, passed away last Wednesday in south suburban Burbank. Moriarity graduated from Leo High School and the University of Illinois at Chicago. He worked as a Chicago police officer in the late 1960s and early '70s, while taking law classes at DePaul University. Mr. Moriarty spent several years on the public defender's Homicide Task Force, a group of seasoned attorneys who handle capital murder cases. That led to his nickname, "Dr. Death," his son said.
