On June 7, 2024, the ISBA hosted a reception in honor of President Sonni Choi Williams held at Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch's 18th floor, which included a terrace overlooking the Gateway Arch. 

The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) is accepting applications for three openings: Administrative Law Judge (Springfield), Supervisory Regional Counsel (Rockford), and Senior Regional Counsel (Champaign).

Congratulations to Rebecca O'Neill for winning a $100 gift card in the ISBA's 2024 Member Appreciation Month Facebook Contest!  As part of Member Appreciation Month, we asked members to like and comment on our Facebook Contest post, telling us how the ISBA makes them a better lawyer.

Fall Semester Starts September 10! Improve your trial skills in this “learn-by-doing” program that covers all phases of trial work from both a plaintiff/prosecutor and defendant’s viewpoint, in both civil and criminal cases. Through this course, you will learn and practice new trial techniques that are most effective and consistent with the Illinois Rules of Evidence and the Federal Rules of Evidence. Each session is audio-video taped so you can see and hear the improvements in your voice, manner, and trial technique. The course has been proven to be of value whether your practice includes trying jury and non-jury cases, administrative hearings, arbitrations, or even mediations.
