CBA Record May-June 2020

the Supreme Court’s Commission on Access to Justice, and court leadership at the state and local levels to achieve these goals. As Chief Justice Bridget McCormack of the Michigan Supreme Court aptly put it when talking about the similar challenge in her state, “[the pandemic] is the disruption our industry needed, even if it wasn’t the disruption that our industry wanted.” The CBA/CBF Task Force on the Sustainable Practice of Law & Innovation Just days after the Supreme Court formally released the new strategic agenda for the Illinois Judicial Branch, the CBA and the CBF kicked off a new task force to modernize our profession’s regulatory framework. Advanc- ing those goals has suddenly become more timely than we ever would have known then. The task force is on track to deliver a full report and comprehensive draft recommendations by June for public comment, with the final version going to the Supreme Court in September. More information is available at chicagobarfoundation.org/advocacy/issues/sustainable-practice-innovation/. We will have a longer feature on the task force’s work in the next edition of the CBA Record. As we continue to respond to the immediate challenges this crisis has created, we know that together, we will get through this and come out with an even stronger and more resilient legal system.
