Michael Rooney reviews significant developments in caselaw. Topics covered include professional conduct, mortgage foreclosure, dissolution of marriage, Illinois Land Trusts, Mechanics Liens, and Tenancy by Entirety.

Second, we have included sufficient blank space following each case so attendees can make notes in the written materials.
