Seventh Circuit Roundup
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit covers three important states – Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin – and multiple major metro areas, including Chicago, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee. It handles a wide variety of cases and is home to a prominent and thought-provoking cast of judges, so there’s rarely a dull moment in CA7’s Dirksen Federal Building. Hosts Kian Hudson and Mark Crandley of Barnes & Thornburg track what’s going on in the Seventh Circuit, highlight interesting cases, and read between the lines of notable opinions.

Seventh Circuit Roundup: Mandates, Mine Claims and Motion Practice
In this month’s episode, the crew tackles three notable decisions from the Seventh Circuit.
First up, Lara walks us through Lukaszczyk v. Cook County, a case involving a vaccine mandate, claims under Section 1983, and some strategic forfeitures that ultimately doomed the plaintiffs’ case.
Next, Kian digs into Union Pacific Railroad Co. v. Illinois Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund, a jurisdictional dispute involving long-ago mining activity, subsidence claims, and whether Union Pacific can shut the door on future lawsuits.
Finally, Mark unpacks Ollison v. Gossett, a case that hits on both qualified immunity and arbitration. Can a police officer avoid liability under Section 1983? And who gets to decide whether a party waived arbitration through litigation conduct — the court or the arbitrator?
