Save the Date for our Annual Luncheon: October 25, 2019!

This year marks an exciting milestone for the Chicago Council of Lawyers. Fifty years ago, a group of visionary lawyers believed that as lawyers, they had a professional obligation to challenge inadequacies in the legal system. Chicago Council of Lawyers is the culmination of that vision.

To build on their success, they formed the Fund for Justice, now Chicago Appleseed, to support and expand their impact. The two organizations work collaboratively toward justice by reforming issues spanning criminal justice, access to justice, family law, immigration court reform, federal courts, and civil liberties. The Council of Lawyers has also set the highest standards for the evaluation of judges. The two organizations have made an enduring mark on communities in Chicago and across Illinois by fighting to make our courts more fair, effective, and by reducing barriers to justice for all people.

This year’s event will be at Maggiano’s Banquets on Friday, October 25^th, and will celebrate our accomplishments and honor the efforts of leaders over the past 50 years. 

We are extremely proud to present Randolph Stone with the Lifetime Achievement Award. A lifelong advocate for underrepresented populations, Professor Stone has devoted his career to expanding equity and improving the quality of justice. Professor Stone will also deliver the keynote address.

The RSVP form for the event will be live in early August. If you’d like to sponsor a table at the event, please contact us! Or use the donor form. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out.
