NRA recovers another $98,000 against Chicago

It's an a supplemental award of attorney fees -- meaning fees for time spent litigating the original award of fees. Chicago opposed the original motion, arguing that since it repealed its handgun ban ordinance after the Supreme Court ruling, but before the trial court filed a judgment striking it down, NRA was not a "prevailing party." Chicago won in the trial court on that argument, but the Seventh Circuit reversed the ruling.
