Lawyers in need

The Illinois Bar Foundation offers non-taxable subsistence gifts in the form of monthly stipends to help eligible lawyers maintain modest but reasonable standards of living when incapacitating illnesses or disabilities occur.

Write to the Illinois Bar Foundation, Illinois Bar Center, 424 S. Second St., Springfield, Ill. 62701, if you know of a colleague or survivor who may qualify.

Subsistence also is available to older lawyers or surviving spouses who could not benefit from retirement plans or deferred taxation that would provide income for later life.
