Nomination packets must reach Stephen Anderson, liaison to the Academy Board of Regents, in the ISBA Chicago Regional Office no later than Dec. 1. For specific questions not covered on the Web site, submit an e-mail to mailto:sanderson@isba.org.

Candidates must be ISBA members who have practiced law primarily in Illinois for at least 25 years, including service on the bench by retired judges, and have demonstrated commitment to principles of the profession through records of service.

ISBA past presidents are not eligible, nor are current members of the Board of Governors or sitting jurists. A Laureate may be selected posthumously within three years after his or her death.
