Strictly Comply or Else!

The Illinois Bar Journal “Notable AI Experience” Contest ends June 14. Enter today!

In his June Illinois Bar Journal article, “Strictly Comply or Else!” attorney Derrick Loving discusses Illinois Supreme Court Rule 191(b), which allows parties to first conduct discovery that they believe necessary to respond to motions for involuntary dismissal under section 2-619, summary judgment motions under section 2-1005, and motions contesting personal jurisdiction under section 2-301 of the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure. The problem, Loving writes, is that the Rule is routinely broken, to the dismay of those attempting to delay rulings that could adversely affect—if not end—their case without trial. Loving goes on to provide detailed guidance on the Rule and explains why so many misapply it when seeking relief.
