After a four-year hiatus, the Nordic Law Club’s popular Lutefisk Open will resume on Monday, Aug. 22, at Mission Hills Country Club in Northbrook with a shotgun start at noon. The benefit will include 18 holes of golf, contests and prizes, a box lunch and plated dinner. Named for a Scandinavian food staple, the outing will help fund scholarships for meritorious international law students whose ancestry can be traced to any of the 89 countries that were visited by Viking-era Norsemen a millennium ago. Lutefisk is a form of dried codfish that Vikings could use as paddles, tools, weapons and, of course, sustenance during their long voyages of exploration. The cost of an individual ticket for the complete Lutefisk Open is $155 per person, or $65 for only the dinner. Opportunities for hole sponsorships and other scholarship contributions are available. Call Perry J. Gulbrandsen at (847) 219-3613 for details. Payments should be mailed by Aug. 15 to Nordic Law Club treasurer David Clark at Canalia & Clark, Suite C, 419 Ridge Road, Munster, IN 46321. Clark may be contacted at (219) 836-0008.

It's a harsh truth, but truth nonetheless: when a foreclosure sale doesn't cover a borrower's debt, the lender can go after the borrower -- personally -- for the amount due on the property. And while courts might not like it, they can't ignore the lender's prerogative. So writes Stephen J. Butler in the latest ISBA Commercial Banking, Collections, and Bankruptcy newsletter. Read his article, which discusses the legal standard for entering a deficiency judgment and "address[es] several of the common roadblocks thrown up by courts in denying such judgments [and]...the legal arguments that should be made to overcome these roadblocks."

A must-have for all civil litigators. From Dog Bite to Divorce! Illinois Supreme Court Rule 213(f) & (g) applies to all civil litigation in Illinois. It governs the procedure for identifying trial witnesses and disclosing their proposed testimony. The ISBA is excited to offer this update of our popular Supreme Court Rule 213(f) & (g) - Quick Reference Guide, last published in 2002. The Guide is a useful tool for quickly learning the law under Rule 213(f) & (g). It reviews all of the Illinois Appellate and Supreme Court decisions to date concerning Supreme Court Rule 213(f) & (g). In addition to a summary, the Guide organizes the propositions for which the cases stand by topics that can be quickly referenced during argument on a motion in limine or motion to bar opinion witnesses. As every litigator knows, the heart and soul of every case is presented through the witnesses who testify. Accordingly, being able to raise and respond to Rule 213(f) & (g) objections is an essential trial skill. This Guide is designed to help the litigator do just that! Written by Paul O. Watkiss, the Guide is published in a uniquely useful format and makes clear the pitfalls of ignoring its nuances.
