Instead of our Bloomington-Normal Luncheon, we will be mixing it up and throwing our very first Un-Gala!  This way, you can have all the information we usually share at our fall luncheon, wherever you are, however you want! 

This year, we are celebrating 25 years of The Immigration Project. That means 25 years worth of work, 25 years worth of impact, and 25 years of increased access to Immigration Justice in the state of Illinois. 

The first ever Immigration Project Un-Gala will be held on Friday, October 9th, and you can “participate” from the comfort of your couch!  RSVP and make a donation using the link below, and we will send you your virtual party pack on Un-Gala day!  You can look at the things you're interested in, skip the things you're not, and celebrate the Immigration Proejct the way you want!

Donors who give over $100 can opt to receive an Un-Gala Goody bag, and those who give over $150 can also opt to receive one of the very first TIP T-Shirts. Just indicate your preferences and size on the registration form!

do You have a case with a
self-represented litigant
who needs assistance
with a zoom court appearance?
​
​we can help! 
​

​The Law Library has a remote hearing cart available for self-represented litigants who need assistance with appearing for a court date via Zoom. This option allows litigants to participate in court proceedings without appearing in the courtroom.
​
Please direct persons who need assistance with Zoom court appearances to phone the Law Library at 309-888-4801 and leave a message with a contact phone number. Staff from the Law Library will return the call and set up the details.

Remember to have “Breakfast with the Bar” every Friday morning between 8:00 am and 9:00 am. It’s a great way to meet and talk with your fellow attorneys in an informal setting. Stay for 10 minutes and have a cup of coffee or stay for an hour and have a full breakfast before court. Grab an associate, partner or friend and come.      See you Friday!
