For the second consecutive year, the Illinois Bar Journal reached out to leaders from several ISBA sections and asked if they’d be willing to reflect on highlights in their areas from the past year and provide a few thoughts on anticipated developments in 2024. Contributors were free to deviate from this theme, so long as their content conveyed a looking-back/looking-forward approach. Read on for contributions from six sections: Civil Practice and Procedure, Criminal Justice, Family Law, Real Estate, Trusts and Estates, and the Young Lawyers Division (YLD).
Our panel of leading appellate attorneys reviews the Illinois Supreme Court opinions handed down Thursday, November 30.

ISBA sections reflect on the past year and suggest issues, developments, and trends to be mindful of in 2024.
