Mitchell L. Marinello and Richard L. Miller II, partners in Novack and Macey LLP, recently authored two chapters in a practice handbook published by the Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education (IICLE).  The two chapters are entitled "Preserving the Record During Trial" and "Motions at the Close of the Evidence."  They can be found in Illinois Civil Practice: Trying the Case (IICLE, 2009).  The chapters provide guidance for the successful trial of civil cases.
