The Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA) stands in support of the Rule of Law and an impartial and independent judiciary. Embodied in the U.S. Constitution, for 236 years these foundational principles have contributed significantly to an ordered society, the preservation of individual rights, checks and balances on excessive government actions, and a firm confidence by the public that access to equal justice is available to all.   

On Monday, February 10, 2025, Illinois State Bar Association President Sonni Choi Williams (2024-2025) was sworn in as a Circuit Judge in the Twelfth Judicial Circuit, Third Subcircuit.
