Over 30 ISBA members, families, and friends represented ISBA in the 2018 Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday, March 17. The luck of the Irish was with participants, who enjoyed milder temperatures and sunshine as they marched along Columbus Drive. An annual tradition for ISBA, walking alongside our mobile billboard was a great opportunity to represent the association and our lawyers to the public.
