MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTPlease sign up below for our War Stories Luncheon to be held on May 21st. Since there is no CLE credit offered you only have to pay $20 if you sign up by May 14th. It will be well worth it.
I am happy to announce that your McLean County Bar Association’s softball team now has over 20 members who are chomping at the bit to take on the Champaign County Bar on Sunday June 9th at the Corn Crib. This will be a family event with plenty of softball to watch and activities for your kids to enjoy, so please come out and join us! Many of you know by now that we lost another one of our esteemed colleagues this past week. Ralph Turner was a great lawyer and civic leader as evidenced by the fact that he was awarded the Lincoln Award of Excellence by this association. Ralph will truly be missed. Funeral arrangements will be set in June. Please see his impressive obituary at this LINK. Have a great week. Paul Lawrence

illinois bar journal2020 Lincoln Award Legal Writing Contest
Dear YLD Member:
You're out in the trenches ... you know the hot topics in your field-the new statutes, the important new cases, the legal developments that you and your colleagues grapple with in the real world of lawyering. We invite you to share your hard-won knowledge and maybe win $2,000 in prize money by entering the Annual Lincoln Award Legal Writing Contest. We're looking for useful, practical articles on topics important to practicing lawyers. The highest scores will go to manuscripts that Illinois lawyers can use in their practices and that are written in a no-nonsense, plain-English style..... |
