RECEPTION TO HONOR
JUSTICE HOLDER WHITE & JUSTICE GARMAN
Interesting information & tidbits about the guests of honor
new addition!
“I hope to leave a legacy of kindness, of integrity,” Justice Garman said in the interview. “And if I’ve maybe made the road or door a little wider open for people who are qualified to be considered for very important positions, I hope it’s known that I worked hard, did my best, and that I gave it my all.”

bond reform nuts & bolts
[1 Hour General CLE Pending Approval]
Bond reform, commonly known as the “Pre-Trial Fairness Act” or the “Safe T Act,” will take effect in 2023. The Act completely overhauls our system from arrest to pre-trial procedure. Its impact will be felt by everyone involved in our criminal courts: those accused, police, clerks, jails, prosecutors and defense attorneys. Understandably, there are lots of questions about it. This CLE will help answer many questions about the Act, and will inform attendees of its content, implementation, and discuss possible issues and/or concerns.

Fourth District of Illinois
Justice Knecht’s remarks will cover the deficits of the criminal justice system in dealing with mental health, race and economics; the overreliance on inadequate prisons and lengthy sentences; and the hypocrisy of originalism.
Judge Knecht is a Justice of the 4th District Appellate Court and has been a judge 47 years. He was an adjunct Professor at Illinois State for 27 years. He has a wealth of service and experience on local, state, and national boards on subjects of family violence, judicial education, and appellate practice, and has won numerous local and state awards for service.

"Abuse and Stalking and Assault, Oh My!":
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.
