Presidents of the Putnam County and Bureau County Bar Associations met recently to discuss the licensed practice of the profession of law. Roger C. Bolin, Putnam County Bar President, and Richard C. Fiocchi, Bureau County Bar President, have each been conducting the licensed practice of law for 40 year. They used this occasion to discuss advocating the positions of their clients. Attorneys listen to the client's problem, and analyze the legal options based on experience applying guiding legal principles. This "client counseling" is a large part of the profession, which is so much more than just filling out forms, which are often picked up incorrectly off the internet. Knowing what, and when forms may be needed, and the effects of those drafted documents, is part of the skill applied.

By Neil Hartigan, former Illinois Attorney General
For the last 60 years I’ve been involved in public life, I’ve known many talented people who’ve made important contributions, but only a few are exceptional people. One of those is Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Anne Burke, who as an elected justice of the Supreme Court of Illinois has just been chosen by her fellow justices as the new chief justice. She’s the perfect choice.
The role of the chief justice is a multifaceted one. She will lead the court in deciding the law on the most and important questions confronting our state. The judicial record and reputation are important. Fortunately, Justice Burke’s 30-year record of judicial experience is outstanding.2 comments (Most recent November 22, 2019) -
