Hon. Robert E. Senechalle, Jr., (Ret.), senior mediator and arbitrator at ADR Systems, recently published an article with the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin. His article, Special Interrogatory Retains its Important Role in Litigation, explores why the use of special interrogatories remains a useful tactic for trial attorneys despite recent changes to the statute governing them.

“The special interrogatory remains alive and important in Illinois civil jury trials,” wrote Judge Senechalle. “Case law in the years ahead will determine the practical effect of the statutory amendment. In the meantime, the wisdom of continuing to employ this important tool in the jury instruction process remains unchanged.”
