Increase your expertise and expand your professional contacts through participation in CBA and Young Lawyers Section Committees. Engage with peers, meet judges and lawyers who share your interests and concerns, and hear a wide variety of expert speakers. Committees meet monthly (September to June) during the lunch hour via live Webcast, in-person at the CBA, and hybrid formats. There are no special requirements or extra “section” fees to participate. Most CBA and YLS committee meetings qualify for Illinois MCLE credit (in-person or live Webcast attendance - average credit is 0.75 hour). All committee meetings are free, thus this is a great way to earn Illinois MCLE credit at no cost! See weekly eBulletin email or www.chicagobar.org (under Committees) for topic, speaker, location and Illinois MCLE credit information. Members can attend any committee meeting.
