April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.
May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

If you or a loved one experienced sexual misconduct at Rock River Academy, legal avenues are available. Confidential consultations can help assess your options, addressing both civil claims and institutional liability. Many survivors of institutional sexual abuse across Illinois have received substantial compensation. You are not to blame for what adults and agencies failed to do. If a Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) placement exposed you to danger, reach out for a free, confidential consultation. Your story stays private. Your choices stay yours. And you’ll get clear next steps.
Michigan lawmakers introduced bipartisan legislation to give sexual abuse victims more time to sue for damages, expanding the civil statute of limitations from age 28 to 52 and allowing a two-year window for retroactive lawsuits. The measures would allow victims to pursue lawsuits previously barred by time limits. Government entities could not claim immunity if they failed to act on prior misconduct. Vermont, Maine, and Maryland have already removed such limits. The push follows decades-old abuse reports, including convictions of Catholic clergy and Larry Nassar, a former Michigan State doctor. The legislation also proposes a "Survivors Bill of Rights" to ensure access to advocates, counselors, and legal support.

Rock River Academy (also known as Rock River Academy & Residential Center) operated in Rockford as a residential treatment program for adolescent girls, including youth placed there through Illinois DCFS. Over time, it drew increasing scrutiny—first for supervision and safety concerns, and later for allegations of sexual assault and exploitation reported in investigations and civil lawsuits.
A 2014 Chicago Tribune article reported that DCFS stopped sending juvenile wards to Rock River after Tribune reporting that youths inside the facility were assaulted and drawn into exploitation, and stated the broader series had detailed “violence, sexual assaults and frequent running away” at the center.

Public allegations escalated again in September 2015, when Courthouse News Service reported on a lawsuit filed in Cook County court by former wards alleging they were raped and assaulted by staff and other residents while placed at Rock River. The article also reported that the lawsuit referenced extensive police activity connected to the facility and recounted allegations that staff used psychotropic drugs to keep a plaintiff in a “semi-conscious state” to facilitate abuse—claims the article clearly frames as allegations in litigation.
