Information about the Law

ISBA/IPA Media Law Handbook

Our IllinoisLawyerFinder website has hundreds of articles and pamplets on various areas of the law.

This month's articles are:

Drunk drivers can face serious penalties
The holidays are a time of partying and celebration and perhaps, not surprisingly, a time when drunk driving dramatically increases.

Getting back a revoked driver’s license
If your driver’s license is revoked for any reason, you must apply to the Illinois Secretary of State’s office to have it returned.

Penalties stiff for underage persons who violate state drinking laws
Consumption of alcohol by persons under age 21 is a persistent problem for law enforcement and an offense that can have serious consequences for anyone involved.

Important information about auto accidents
Even good drivers can be involved in a road accident. If this happens to you, it’s important to know what to do both at the scene of the accident and immediately afterwards.
