Just made it

Bad day. good run. high 50s out brisk wind, Did about 7 down to Solider Field and back beating the rain by just minutes. Fitting since I just taught about "umbrella jurisdiction" under German national law in transnational litigation. Its basically the opposite of Shaffner v. Heitner. Any property within the jurisdiction (famously an umbrella left in a hotel room) will subject a non-EU defendant to what amounts to general jurisdiction in a suit in any amount about anything. Even worse, that judgment is easily enforceable in all EU countries (except Denmark) under an EU regulation.
