Abraham Lincoln was counsel of record in approximately 175 cases before Illinois' highest court. The history website of the Illinois Supreme Court lists all of these cases that have official citations, beginning with, Scammin vs Wine, 3 Ill. 456 (1840), through to, State of Illinois v. Illinois Central Railroad Company, 27 Ill. 64 (1861).[1]
People ex rel. Stevenson v Higgins, 15 Ill 110 (1853) concerning trustees of a hospital. Lincoln acted for Higgins. He lost on the point of who, precisely, was empowered by common law to exercise the right of removal. Lincoln argued that it should only be the legislature, the governor or the Supreme Court, but not the hospital’s trustees, but the court felt the trustees too could exercise the power of amotion.[2]
Sprague v. Illinois River Railroad Co. 19 Ill 174 (1857) effect of amendment to railroad company's charter on liability of stockholders.
