“Section councils and committees are the backbone of the ISBA,” said the Hon. Russell Hartigan, of Western Springs, ISBA President for 2017-2018. “Leadership is vital to the success of these groups.”
Section councils provide continuing education and legislative services to lawyers who practice in a specific area of law. Each section is governed by a council appointed by the state bar president. Judges and non-lawyers also serve on committees and section councils.
The ISBA is a 33,000-member association with offices in Springfield and Chicago, and it provides professional services to Illinois lawyers, in addition to education and services to the public.
