We are proud to celebrate the publication of a new article, “Sounding in Healing Arts Malpractice: Which Allegations Are Noisy Enough to Require a 2-622 Report?” by our colleagues, Mark Benfield and Kathryn Johnson-Monfort. Featured in ISBA Tort Trends Vol. 61 No. 2 (2025), their article explores the complexities of Illinois Code of Civil Procedure section 2-622 and its far-reaching impact on healthcare and medical negligence litigation. The duo provides a thorough analysis of which types of lawsuits must comply with section 2-622 and offers practical guidance for both plaintiffs and defendants. Mark’s practice centers on medical malpractice defense and healthcare law, while Kathryn brings a strong background in civil litigation and risk management. Their combined experience delivers valuable insight for legal professionals and clients throughout Illinois.

Congratulations to Mark and Kathryn for their insightful contribution!
