|
Sec. 4.01. (a) The Office and all attorneys employed |
thereby may
represent the People of the State of Illinois on |
appeal in all cases
which emanate from
a county containing less |
than
3,000,000 inhabitants, when requested to do so and at the |
direction of
the State's Attorney, otherwise responsible for |
prosecuting the appeal,
and may, with the advice and consent of |
the State's Attorney prepare,
file and argue such appellate |
briefs in the Illinois Appellate
Court
and, when requested and |
authorized to do so by the Attorney General, in the
Illinois |
Supreme Court. |
(b) Notwithstanding the population restriction contained |
in subsection (a), the
The Office may also assist County |

the Narcotics Profit |
Forfeiture Act, and the Illinois Public Labor Relations
Act,
|
including negotiations conducted on behalf of a county or |

|
board based upon the population and number of labor relations |
cases of the
participating counties.
In addition, the Office |
and all attorneys employed by the Office may also
assist |
State's Attorneys in the discharge of their duties in the |
