On August 6, 2026, the Illinois Bar Foundation (IBF) hosted the Lawyers Care Legacy Reception at Roanoke Restaurant in Chicago, honoring the life and legacy of Warren Lupel.

A true luminary of the legal profession and lifelong advocate for those in need, Warren served on the IBF Board of Directors from 1995–2006, including as President from 2002–2004. His leadership, compassion, and steadfast belief in the ability of attorneys to support colleagues facing hardship helped shape and strengthen the Illinois Bar Foundation’s Warren Lupel Lawyers Care Fund.

Founded in 1951 and renamed in Warren’s honor in 2004, the Fund continues his enduring commitment to helping Illinois lawyers and their families in times of need.

We are eternally grateful for Warren’s leadership, service, and the lasting impact of his legacy.

The Sports and Entertainment Law Section invites you to join them for an evening of fun, food, and women’s basketball as the Chicago Sky take on the New York Liberty! Tickets include a pre-game party with pizza, salad, beer, wine, and soft drinks at Pizano’s Pizza & Pasta and admission to the game.

On June 11–12, 2026, ISBA members and their guests gathered at the Ritz-Carlton in St. Louis for the Annual Meeting, where Perry J. Browder was honored as the Association’s 150th President. The event featured timely and engaging educational programming, memorable receptions, exceptional dining experiences, and productive business meetings. ISBA extends its sincere appreciation to all attendees and sponsors whose support helped make the Annual Meeting a success!
