General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Herb v. Pitcairn No. 24 Decided April 23, 1945 * 325 U.S. 77
CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF ILLINOIS
Syllabus
For purposes of the Federal Employers’ Liability Act, which provides that "[n]o action shall be maintained under this chapter unless commenced within two years from the day the cause of action accrued," an action is "commenced" when instituted by service of process issued out of a state court which is itself unable to proceed to judgment but which, by the state law or practice, is directed or permitted to transfer the proceeding, by change of venue or otherwise, to a court which does have jurisdiction to hear and determine the cause. P. 78.
384 Ill. 237, 281, 51 N.E.2d 277, 282, reversed.
Certiorari, 321 U.S. 759, to review Judgments affirming dismissals of two suits under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act. An earlier opinion of this Court in this case is reported in 324 U.S. 117.
