The ISBA is seeking input from attorneys whose practices include rural areas and small towns in Illinois.
Many areas of Illinois outside of urban areas are experiencing a shortage of attorneys to meet the needs of their residents. Experienced practitioners have sometimes struggled to connect with newer attorneys to expand or transition their practices.
The ISBA is asking our affiliated bar associations to forward a short survey to their members and request that they complete the survey by Friday, August 28. The goal of the survey is to understand what issues prevent newer attorneys from moving to rural areas, and how best the ISBA can address those issues.
