court notes
undertakings to date in terms of the Court devoting resources to the implementation of a new Legislative Act. 2. Don Knapp will be sworn into office as the next Circuit Judge on Friday, September 16 at 3:00 pm. More details are listed below. 3. A joint reception to thank Justice Rita Garman for her years of service and to welcome Justice Lisa Holder White will take place from 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm on Wednesday, September 28, 2022 at the McLean County Law & Justice Center. More details are listed below, but hopefully you can stop by to meet and greet the Justices. 4. Circuit Judge Casey Costigan was recently elected as our next Chief Judge starting January 2023. He will be a great leader and will continue to move the 11th Circuit forward to allow us to efficiently, effectively and fairly administer justice while continuing to be at the forefront of judicial advancements. 5. On October 26, 2022, we will be hosting the next Bench/Bar Listening Session to provide court operation updates and to answer any questions related thereto. More details to come from Mary Sellmyer. 6. While we’ve had some Covid cases at the Law & Justice Center recently, we have been fortunate that everyone has recovered and that we were able to continue uninterrupted court operations. We continue to monitor local health conditions and are hopeful that no changes to our operations will be necessary. As always, feel free to contact Will Scanlon, Trial Court Administrator, with any court-related questions. I hope you have a nice, albeit slow, end to your summer. Best regards. Chief Judge Mark A. Fellheimer swearing-in - DON KNAPPNew Circuit Judge

Seeking or Defending against OPs and Other Protective Orders
ORIGINALLY POSTED - March 15
RECORDING ENDS - SEPTEMBER 30
[Up to 2 Hours General CLE Credit Approved]
Please join the McLean County Bar Association in welcoming two of our own local Judges! Hon. David W. Butler (Ret.) and Hon. Scott Kording put together an update on Orders of Protections. Learn the purposes and differences of the four most common personal protective orders, including Orders of Protection (OPs), Stalking No Contact Orders (SNCOs), Civil No Contact Orders (CNCOs), and Criminal Protective Orders (CPOs); who can be protected by the orders; the procedures for the filing and hearing of Petitions for these orders, including how emergency orders (EOPs, ESNCOs, and ECNCOs) are handled; the protective-order remedies available to victims of abuse/stalking/assault; plus some advanced practice tips that should help both the “newbie” and the “old pro” attorneys alike.
