SUMMARY:Civil Disagreements: Unitary Executive Theory
DESCRIPTION:The Unitary Executive Theory: Legitimate Constitutional Theory or Path to Dictatorship? \nClick here to register. \n \nArticle II of the U. S. Constitution provides in part that the executive power of the United States government “shall be vested” in “a President” of the United States. \nOn its face\, this provision would seem to give the president ultimate control over the entire Executive branch\, including the power to hire and fire its members for any reason or no reason at all. \nYet one of the hallmarks of the federal government in the past roughly one hundred years has been the growth with the Executive Branch of the administrative state\, including administrative law judges\, inspectors general\, the civil service\, and various commissions. \nTo what extent does the Constitution give the President absolute authority over such agencies and commissions\, and to what extent do the Congress and the Supreme Court have power to reign the President in? \nThis program is part of Civil Disagreements\, a debate and discussion series of timely\, contentious topics sponsored by the American Bar Association Division for Public Education\, American Constitution Society Chicago and Austin Chapters\, Federalist Society Chicago Chapter\, Reform for Illinois\, Courts Matter Illinois\, and the Chicago Council of Lawyers. \n1 hour of CLE will be available to Illinois lawyers from Reform for Illinois.

SUMMARY:Attorneys As Public Citizens
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Council of Lawyers is partnering up with the Hispanic Lawyers Association (HLAI) for a Public Citizen Training on February 20\, 2026\, at UIC Law from 6 – 9 PM. \nThis event will be an opportunity for attorneys to learn how they can join a network of rapid response attorneys. \nThe training will be grounded in the Rules of Professional Responsibility and is pending CLE credit. It will focus on the role of lawyers as public citizens and our unique responsibility for the quality of justice in our communities. \nThe presentation will provide information on how attorneys fulfill the role to administer justice\, the role of a public citizen\, de-escalation training for attorneys supporting events or rapid response efforts\, street medic information\, Know Your Rights information\, conducting risk assessments\, and methods of documentation. We will discuss tools that build community and build public relationships that promote the fair administration of justice.
