[caption id="attachment_17833" align="alignright" width="300" caption="The band OMT - One More Time with Naperville attorney Richard Kuhn (right) performs at Lawyers Rock Legends."][/caption] Over 400 people enjoyed the Illinois Bar Foundation’s Lawyers Rock Legends fundraising event on Feb. 3 at Buddy Guy’s Legends in Chicago. The event raised over $55,000 to support the programs of the IBF. In the fall of 2010, the IBF held a contest on its Facebook page to determine which bands would be selected to perform. People were asked to become a fan of the page, and then view the submitted auditions and vote for their favorite bands. A total of 21 bands from around the state submitted auditions. In December, a panel of unbiased professional musicians viewed the final submissions, and taking into account all of the votes cast, chose the winning bands. The winning bands, which had to include at least one lawyer, were:
- Barristers Big Band
- Catfish & the Big Boss Blues Band
- The Orphans
- OMT-One More Time
- 5-thirty
- Joe Biscelgia plus Three
- Loren Golden Jazz Ensemble

Chief Justice Thomas L. Kilbride of the Illinois Supreme Court will be the keynote speaker at the Second Annual Joseph R. Bartylak Award Dinner on Friday, March 25, at the Governor’s Mansion in Springfield. The Lawyers’ Assistance Program has been confidentially assisting Illinois lawyers, judges, law students and their families with alcohol, substance abuse and mental health issues since 1980. The backbone of LAP is its hundreds of trained volunteers. Last year LAP created the Joseph R. Bartylak Award to be awarded annually to deserving ‘downstate’ volunteers. Joe Bartylak, who passed away last summer, served LAP since its inception as an incorporator, volunteer, Board member and as the Associate Director from 2002-2007. Joe also served as Director of Land of Lincoln Legal Services for many years. This year we will honor retired Justice Tobias G. Barry of Ladd and retired Judge E. Michael O’Brien of Peoria. Both are long time LAP volunteers and exemplify the qualities that Joe brought to this important work. Dinner tickets are $75 per person. If you are interested in attending, please contact James Radcliffe, Associate Director, at jradcliffe@illinoislap.org.
